Once a year, usually in July or August, our town is taken over by caravans. The Swiss circus Knie arrives with their staff.

They take over part of the town. It is interesting to see how they build the tent, only to dismantle it three days later. Since I have been living in Switzerland for the past 53 years they travel throughout the Summer visiting the larger towns. It is a family business handed down from father to son and all are active in the circus, mainly training the animals.

I have never been to the circus, I do not like circus, but it part of Swiss tradition.
