[00:52.79]Before I allow you all to enjoy today's entertainment,
[00:57.89]permit me to tell you about the fairground.
[01:02.28]The Big Top is the large red and yellow-striped tent you see behind me.
[01:09.07]That is where all of today's featured acts will be performing.
[01:14.45]On my rent there are two long trailers.
[01:19.05]That is where you can view human and animal oddities of all sorts--our Freak Show.
[01:28.14]Across from the Freak Show to my left is the Petting Zoo.
[01:34.15]Here both children and adults can enjoy playing with cute little animals.
[01:40.34]We have young goats,lambs and rabbits,
[01:44.65]as well as ponies for the children to ride.

[04:44.06]Following Santini at around one o'clock will be the bozo Brothers.

[05:56.08]then back at the Big Top at two o'clock
[06:00.46]you can watch Gary the Glass Eater
[06:05.87]do just what his name implies,eat glass!

[06:24.94]all without injuring himself,Don't try this at home kids!
[06:30.74]From 3 to 4 o'clock there will be an intermission.

[06:41.01]When activities resume at four o'clock you will have two options.
[06:47.61]Down at the Petting Zoo there will a lamb shearing demonstration.
[06:54.12]Want to know how lamb's wool became that beautiful sweater in your closet?

[08:11.31]as they fly and tumble through the air 150 meters above the ground-
[08:18.91]all without a safety net.
[08:22.80]I don't want to say too much,but make sure to stay for their grand finale,
