Council grants permit for 'Kingdom of Wonder' circus at Strawberry Lake; dates to be finalized
Summary
Council approved a three-day special-event permit for the Kingdom of Wonder (Leafland Productions LLC) to hold circus performances at Strawberry Lake, with final dates and logistics to be determined. Council discussed parking and site impacts prior to approval.
The Norway City Council approved a special-event permit for the "Kingdom of Wonder" (Leafland Productions, Leafland Productions LLC / EBA Leafland Productions referenced) to stage a multi-day circus at Strawberry Lake, with exact dates to be determined.
Dan, the staff member handling special events, said the organizer had proposed several potential dates and preferred Strawberry Lake because restroom facilities and space there would simplify logistics. Council members raised questions about parking capacity (organizers estimated up to 250 attendees per show), potential conflicts with other events at nearby parks, and whether the tent location could avoid damaging turf and parking areas. Council approved a three‑day permit with site at Strawberry Lake, leaving final dates and additional conditions to be set by staff.
Staff said they would confirm availability with the organizer and return any final scheduling details to the council.
