Marbles Kids Museum “Future Me” Career Fair

Sharing our passion for circus arts, performance, entertaining and teaching children of all ages, Imagine Circus partnered with Marbles Kids Museum in downtown Raleigh for the “Future Me” Kids Career Fair on Saturday, February 24th, 2017. The event hosted businesses from the community to share their profession through play! During the event Imagine Circus taught families how to use flower sticks, juggle scarves, and spin plates, while answering questions about running a circus business. The museum hosted 2,582 guests in addition to the 96 partners delivering play! Through hands-on exploration, children learned about new jobs and roles that they may not have known about before; we were glad to be a part of such a great event and look forward to more opportunities for community engagement.
