For 74 years, Guppo’s vision has lived on through Wenatchee Youth Circus, inspiring generations of young people with joy, teamwork, confidence, and community. We’re so grateful to the Wenatchee Valley YMCA for being part of that journey and for providing a home for the sculpture that honors Guppo and his enduring legacy!

Guppo, the Clown moved into his new home today!

Paul Pugh (aka Guppo) started the Wenatchee Youth Circus at the YMCA in 1953 and has impacted thousands of kids in our valley since. Though the Wenatchee Youth Circus is no longer a YMCA program, we are honored to display Guppo’s statue and celebrate his legacy.

Welcome home Guppo!

🎪✨ That’s a wrap on the 74th WYC Travel Season! ✨🎪

And what a special way to finish with our Home Shows right here in the Wenatchee Valley!

We are so grateful to our wonderful community for coming out to support the Wenatchee Youth Circus, even when wildfire smoke and air quality meant we had to modify our shows. Your enthusiasm, encouragement, and continued support mean so much to our performers and our entire WYC family. ❤️

A huge thank-you to our Home Show sponsors, the Kiwanis Club, for your generosity and love! AND Eastmont Parks for hosting! AND Nelson Family Lights for helping make our final shows extra special with the awesome light display! ✨

We want to give a heartfelt thank you to our trainers, Blue Crew, Board members, and all of our amazing volunteers who make WYC possible. And to our WYC alumni >> thank you for continuing to show up, cheer us on, and be part of this incredible circus family. Once a WYC performer, always part of the family! 💙

And finally, a very special congratulations to our graduating seniors! 🎓❤️ We are so proud of you and grateful for the many years, countless performances, hard work, laughter, and memories you have given to WYC. You will always have a place in our circus family, and we can’t wait to see where life takes you next!

Thank you, Wenatchee, for helping us close out another unforgettable season. 74 seasons and counting! 🎪💙✨

Family and friends! Please join us as we put on a performance this morning at 1030 am. It will be a shorter show as we are navigating the air quality! Don’t worry, it will still be filled full of fun and exciting acts! We are asking donation only this morning for our shortened show! See you soon!!
