Ramos Bros. Circus returns to Sacramento County Fair

-

SACRAMENTO — For the second year in a row, the 2018 Sacramento County Fair will feature the Ramos Bros. Circus.

Fair attendees will have the opportunit­y to experience the big top with three live shows each day. The two-hour performanc­e features wire acts, contortion­ists, motorcycle daredevils, jugglers, and best of all, aerial acrobatics!

The Ramos Bros. Circus is a blend of traditiona­l and contempora­ry circus, bringing amazement and laughter to all who attend. Featuring 12 performers and a super-cute group of talented poodles that are known to steal the show, the Ramos Bros. Circus delivers nonstop family fun to everyone under the Big Top.

“We are thrilled to be returning to the Sacramento County Fair again this year. We hope that kids of all ages come out to enjoy the magic under the Big Top,” said Oliver Ramos, owner of the Ramos Bros. Circus.

The Ramos family gained worldwide recognitio­n with their trapeze act, which included three catchers; a unique concept as classic trapeze acts only featured one catcher.

Pamela Fyock, CEO of the Sacramento County Fair, is pleased to see the magic and wonderment of the circus return to the fair.

“Last year was a huge success with the Ramos Bros. Circus,” she said. “We are thrilled for them to return with jugglers, trapeze artists, horses, daredevils — you name it!”

The circus is free with admission to the fair.

Join more than 100,000 guests at the Sacramento County Fair and enjoy more than 30 carnival rides, dozens of free exhibits, musical guests and activities all Memorial Day Weekend.

As an added bonus this year, the Sacramento County Fair is partnering with the Make-A-Wish Foundation to host Terrell and his Adopt-AWish sponsors, Sutter Health.

Terrell, 14, who battles leukemia, wishes to have his very own carnival, so the Sacramento County Fairground­s will open one day early so Terrell’s wish can come true.

Not only has Terrell shown bravery by fighting his critical illness, but recently he was recognized as a local hero for saving neighbors in their apartment building after it caught on fire in Stockton.

At his carnival, Sutter employees will be there to support him in his wish coming true as well as the Stockton Fire Department to recognize him as a local hero.

“Wishes would not be possible without the collective support of our local community,” said Jennifer Stolo, President and CEO of MakeA-Wish Northeaste­rn California and Northern Nevada. “Because of Adopt-A-Wish sponsors like Sutter Health and lending hands from the Sacramento County Fair, Terrell’s wish is going to be a magical experience for him and his family.”
