What legends and folklore lurk in the shadows of the Greatest Show on Earth? From phantom elephants to creepy superstitions, this session will make all your days circus days. Learn tonight about the numerous circuses started in Wisconsin — enough that some consider Wisconsin the home of the circus. Presented by Chad Lewis, author, lecturer and researcher of the strange and unusual.
