The 'Big Top' in St. Charles
The Moolah Shriners hosted their annual Moolah Shrine Circus March 17-20, 2011 at the St. Charles Family Arena.
The St. Charles Family Arena was transformed into a big top for the Moolah Shrine Circus. Elephants, tigers, clowns, and aerial acts were some of the acts who entertained the crowd in the three ring "Circus with a Purpose."
The Moolah Shrine Circus is a fundraiser for the Moolah Shrine Temple. Money raised by fraternal fundraisers can be distributed as the members see fit.
Correction: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated which entity receives the proceeds from the circus. St. Charles Patch regrets the error.
