Kids Club: Child reporter Abigail Zippos Circus excels again

On Easter Monday,  we got a great treat. We were invited to Zippos Circus. My favourite act was the man on a big wheel. One time, he ran on the high wheel blind folded. My heart stood still and my jaws fell. I thought he would fall! What I would like to see next time is more funnier clowns.
