Proceeds from the Minot Shrine Circus being held in Minot today through Saturday go to the benefit of the Minot Shrine Club.

The circus has performances at the State Fair Center’s All Seasons Arena today at 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., Friday at 10 a.m., 4 and 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, May 7, at 2 and 6 p.m.

Local businesses have provided support to bring the circus to Minot over the years.

“Their sponsorship is tantamount to us being able to not only put on the Northwest Shrine Circus but to also continue our support of the Shriners Hospitals for Children and the services they are able to provide for children in need,” according to the Shrine Club Circus Board information.
