LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- It's one of those weekends when you just want to stay indoors.

So it's perfect timing for the Kosair Shrine Circus, where you can warm up with clowns, cotton candy, and talented performers.

While these acrobats use the trampoline to make flipping look easy.

"The sights, sounds and smells in a traditional circus bring out the young boy and girl in all of us. Kids from 5 to 95 just put their concerns away and for several hours just be a child again," says

More than 19,000 kids with special needs go to the circus for free with money raised by the community.

The Kosair Shrine Circus has been around for more than 85 years.
