Matt Renoux clowns around with the Zoppe Family Circus

Our own Matt Renoux did some clowning around with the Zoppe Family Circus ahead of their performances in the Winter Park/Fraser area this weekend.

FRASER — They have been all over Colorado and this weekend the Zoppe Family Circus is in the Winter Park/Fraser area. They’ve been performing as a family for eight generations since 1842 combining acrobatics with humor under the big top.

Getting their tricks and stunts to perfection takes years, but Friday morning 9NEWS Reporter Matt Renoux got the chance to try one of their most difficult stunts Roman Riding.

The pros do it much better, but he held his own.

This summer they have performed in Snowmass and Denver. Over the Labor Day weekend the Zoppe family will be in Fraser/Winter Park.

Friday they are inviting locals to a potluck dinner to get to know the family before their shows. After their final performance on Tuesday, they'll pack up and head to Avon for another round of performances.

Tickets are $20 and you can get more information at http://zoppe.net
