ISHPEMING -- An extra addition to Fourth of July festivities in Ishpeming had kids smiling on Wednesday.

A big top circus from Oklahoma set up shop at Al Quaal Recreation Area.

It only took the circus crew an hour to put up the large tent.

The two shows held Wednesday afternoon included horses, clowns, tight rope walkers, and a large snake.

The circus was brought to town by the Ishpeming Fourth of July Committee.

The same circus heads to Iron River on Thursday.
