The American Sign Museum (Cincinnati) has announced that it will celebrate a decade in its current Camp Washington location with The Signmakers Circus, a celebration at the museum on June 18, 7 p.m. EDT. Camp Washington is a neighborhood within the city of Cincinnati.
From a statement released by the museum, “The Signmaker’s Circus: A Decade of Camp, will transform the Museum into a burlesque fantasyland created by top artists and performers from across the region, featuring Zoltar the Fortune Teller, stilt walkers, fire eaters, and aerialists performing in the Greatest Show in Camp.”

Now is the perfect time to celebrate our tremendous growth and look forward to the next ten years in Camp.”
