Expo II Plaza Events

The Expo II Plaza, also free with gate admission, will feature new & returning entertainment this year, Buffo the World’s Strongest Clown - not your ordinary clown, returns after a long absence at the fair. This gentle giant weighs in at over 200 pounds and has biceps that are bigger than most men's thighs. He juggles bowling balls as well as hatchets, meat cleavers, fire and chain saws - as long as they're not turned on! He rips telephone books in half and balances extension ladders and children sitting in chairs on his face. He lies on a bed of nails buried under a stack of cement blocks and walks on broken glass and machetes in his bare feet. He makes animals appear and disappear and escapes from chains, ropes, handcuffs and a strait jacket. He even has a little dog that does almost as many tricks as he does!

Bring the kids and make a lasting memory at the First Bite Fishing Tank where they can learn how to handle different species of fish; learn how to handle different species of live bait; and overcome their fears of fish and bait. All fish are returned safely to the tank.

Now imagine the world of antic sounds and vibrant colors of exotic plants, palm trees, and animals. Families will travel through a rainforest as their tour guide Bixby takes them on a magical journey! Families will experience the excitement of a unique blend of magic, audience participation, sing-a-long and a menagerie of exotic animal interaction, as Bixby brings awareness on conservation and preservation of the rainforest.
