In the year 2000, three service organizations in Lake Placid (Kiwanis, Rotary, Lions) banded together to put on a family day fund raiser at the horse show grounds on July 12.  Who's the current rotary member in the clown suit?  The main attraction was the Kelly Miller Circus.  Small traveling circuses were still to be found at that time but many have shuttered or are now animal free due to concern over animal welfare.
