Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, and Children of All
Ages, get ready for the Greatest Show on Earth!
THE 32rd ANNUAL BARABOO CIRCUS HERITAGE will be
held the weekend of May 18, 19 and 20, 2018, at the Sauk County
Fairgrounds in Baraboo, Wisconsin. This year’s theme is “Science
under the Big Top”. Learn about how to balance anything, why
performers keep their arms and legs tucked to spin faster, how you
can stand on a bed of nails. BE PREPARED to test your skills on
the archery, bb guns and sling shot ranges. Race a Pinewood
Derby car. Show off your cooking skills in the Dutch Oven
cooking contest. New exhibits and activities are added each week -
many of your old favorites and some new surprises are in store for
you!

SATURDAY NIGHT MAIN STAGE
Our Saturday evening show will be Lawnmower Racing.
Lawnmower racing is innovative. Racers modify suburban
grass cutters into race-day speed demons. The American
Racing Mower Association competitions allow racers to ride
any self-propelled rotary or reel-style riding lawnmower (but
not zero-turn models), so long as the mower was originally
designed and sold to mow lawns, and the mower must remain
suitable for lawn cutting, though for safety’s sake the blades
are removed on racing mower. Racers can tinker with
engines and transmissions to fulfill their need for speed.

DAVE KUCKUK MEMORIAL HERZLAUF (Heart Run)
Adults and youth attending the Heritage are invited to take part in
the forth annual David Kuckuk Memorial Herzlauf ("Heart Run").
The Herzlauf consists of a 5K chip-timed race($23), 5K walk($20)
and a 1 mile fun run($8). The event is co-located with the Baraboo
Circus Heritage Weekend presented by the Glacier's Edge Council
of the Boy Scouts of America. Race proceeds benefit scout
camping.

MINIATURE CIRCUS WAGON CONTEST Saturday
Design and build your own circus wagon ahead of time on a
coaster wagon or similar chassis. There are two classes of
wagons: wagons built by those under 11 and those 11 to 18.
There will be separate divisions for wagons built by individual
youth and by a group of youth. Judging is based on
craftsmanship, creativity, and the youth’s knowledge on how the
wagon was built. Interesting uses of material, movement and
music will also catch the judge’s eyes. Top wagons receive
trophies and all wagons entered will receive a ribbon. Stop by
and vote for your favorite for the popular vote trophy.

allowed in the museum area. No cash sales allowed and the area
will be supervised. The Museum is made possible by a group of
Scouters known as the Eight Ball Patrol.

MAKE THE TRANSITION!
BCH is great place for Troops and Packs to get to know each
other better. There are so many things happening at BCH that a
Tiger Cub or an Eagle Scout will find something that interests
them. Troops, invite your local Cub Packs to come along! And
Cub Packs invite your local Troop to come along!
