Bowie Lions invites community to elephant spa
Carson & Barnes Circus, presented in Bowie on Sept. 19 by the Bowie Lions Club, invites the community to attend the free elephant spa day at 3 p.m. prior to the two shows that evening.
The performing pachyderms will enjoy a luxury bath as guests take the opportunity to enjoy these animals up close and learn about their species. Just like humans the Carson & Barnes Circus elephants take daily showers, although unlike most of us they really get the royal treatment.
They get to lie down and get scrubbed cleaned by their loved handlers. It takes approximately 500 gallons of water and a gallon of special soap just to give one elephant their daily bath.
The majestic pachyderms are bathed with a soap that helps their naturally tough skin. Pressured water is used to help them achieve a spa-like cleansing. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to see an elephant’s bath.
Circus performances will be at 4:30 and 7 p.m. at the Second Monday Trade Days parking area.
