Velocity Circus sponsored by Financial Center Credit Union

The Velocity Circus will burst forth with eclectic excitement. Feast your eyes upon the mystical Mongolian contortionist, as she slithers and slides from one position to the other in a jewel encrusted costume fit for a   queen…
Gaze above at the aerial tissue artist as he mesmerizes the crowd below while swinging and spiraling in and out of various positions, all the while displaying incredible athleticism, coordination and flexibility.

Watch our world-famous hoop artist as she performs aerial acrobatics within the circular steel apparatus suspended from the heavens above.  Come and immerse yourself in fantastic frivolity as the slack rope artist manipulates both body and objects while maintaining composure and incredible balance.

Schedule: Friday, Saturday, Sunday at 12 p.m., 2 p.m., 4 p.m. all three days.

Although Hula Girl Beverages is based in Stockton, California, the idea was created in Hawaii. While dining at Mama’s Fish House on Maui, Billy and Lisa Shawver perused the cocktail menu as Trader Vic’s Mai Tai caught their eye. With the first sip of the legendary drink, an idea flashed through their minds on how they could fulfill a lifelong dream of living and working in Hawaii. By the time they were eating dessert, they had outlined their business plan and named their company Hula Girl Beverages.
They would sell bottled, ready-to-drink, premium tropical rum cocktails that would especially appeal to women. All of the drinks use rum made with Hawaiian molasses from Kauai’s Gay and Robinson sugar plantation. Hula Girl premium cocktails are 20 proof and are available in single bottles, 4 packs, or cases. Their brand features: Bikini Bling (coconut flavor), Moonlight Mai Tai (island fruit flavors), Sunset Sensation (luscious peach flavor), and Wild Wahine (pineapple and melon flavors).
This year we will also be introducing Bud Light Lime’s new Straw-ber-ita!
The hottest drink for the summer!  Bud Light Lime Straw-ber-rita brings together a mix of two favorites – a great strawberry margarita taste with the refreshing twist of Bud Light Lime!  Try one over ice and enjoy the summer!
