Plenty of things going on this coming weekend and so I thought I'd post info on all of them. Even if you're not on Guam its still important to keep up to date with what's happening on the island. Although when I was younger I would always hear that there's nothing happening or nothing to do on Guam, this is absolutely not the case anymore. Right now, there is, at some points, too much going on!

October 23-26 - "Moscow Circus on Guam"
Circus comes to Guam
By Bryan C. Sualog
Pacific Daily News
October 21, 2008
From Oct. 23-26, the Moscow International Circus will be performing at the University of Guam fieldhouse.
"This circus has played major venues all across North America," said Moscow International Circus producer Cornell Tuffy Nicholas. "It's the type of circus that can play the biggest cities in the world and still be considered a big circus."
Nicholas said the two-hour show includes motorcycle stunts, contortionists, acrobats, an aerial ballet, jugglers and Russian swings. The circus is animal-free, so don't expect elephants or any other exotic animals.
Nicholas said the circus was brought to Hawaii and did very well there and wanted to continue to other islands that made sense -- those that had the population and was able to host a circus of its size.
"We've been trying to broaden our horizons for some time," Nicholas said. "We found Guam to be ideal."
The show includes performers from the famous Moscow State Circus, which has a school where performers learn their craft.
"It's probably the most world-renowned school," Nicholas said.
There also are performers from Mongolia, South America and the United States.
"That's the international part of the 'Moscow International Circus.' We have performers from other places in the world besides just Moscow," Nicholas said
The performers met in Hawaii and arrived on island last night, Nicholas said.
"We're excited. Guam is a beautiful island and there are beautiful, friendly people and we're happy to be here," Nicholas said. "I'm looking forward to a great weekend."
Nicholas said the circus was considering going to Saipan as well, but the trip there hasn't been finalized.
"I'd just like for everybody to have a chance to go to the show because it's going to be something they'll never forget as long as they live," he said.
