LA PALMA : Chamber, City Officials Work to Bring Circus Vargas to Town
- Share via
City and circus are trying to come together.
The La Palma Chamber of Commerce wants to sponsor Circus Vargas in Central Park as a fund raiser for the chamber. City officials said they want to be supportive, but are worried about possible damage to park grass.
Thus the City Council, at its meeting Tuesday , asked that chamber officials and city staff members work together in trying to arrange a solution. The council unanimously voted approval for the circus to be in the park, subject to concurrence by City Manager Len Wood that a way is found to protect park grass.
“We want to make sure the park is restored to its original condition, and I think we can work with them to achieve that,” Wood told the council.
The chamber hopes to sponsor the circus Aug. 31 through Sept. 3.
