Skeeter coming to Whitehall

Skeeter the Advance Clown is heading to Whitehall later this month in advance of the Culpepper & Merriweather Circus.

Skeeter is scheduled to be at the Whitehall Community Library Thursday, June 20 at 1 p.m. The circus will follow the next and is scheduled for Friday, June 28 at 5 and 7:30 p.m.

Jim Royal of Culpepper & Merriweather said Skeeter’s program is entertaining, but education as well.

“She ‘teaches’ the students in a fun way,” he said.

According to Royal, during the course of the assembly, incorporates the following subjects: History, Math, Spanish, American Sign Language, Listening to and following directions and Cooperation. He added Skeeter will ask for a few volunteers to help her on stage, and she will also do a little slight-of-hand magic.
