Videos: Masquerage “freak show” preparing to invade fairgrounds
The Montgomery County Fairground Roundhouse will be invade with lions, tigers and a lot of ‘oh my’ during Masquerage 2009, 8 p.m. to 1 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 17.
The grown up, side show-themed party will attract about 700 revelers hoping to dance and be mesmerized by a bearded lady, aerialists, fortune tellers, sword swallowers, whip artists and dancers painted to look like lions and tigers.
Regular admission is $50. The price is $140 for the VIP section which includes admission to the Red Ribbon Lounge, a loaded swag bag, a champagne bar, table service, butler-style hors d’oeuvres and special performances.

Proceeds will benefit AIDS Resource Center Ohio’s local efforts. The organization provides HIV and AIDS prevention and education programs in addition to testing, counseling, support services and linkage to care throughout 35 Ohio counties.
Oddities will roam around the venue or preform on three stages.
The Morbid Sisters contortionists team, world famous knife thrower Jack Dagger, “The Latina Queen of Burlesque” Miss Viva Las Vegas 2007 La Cholita and sideshow troupe Freakshow Deluxe will preform.
Dayton’s own Rubi Girls drag troupe will also perform, but this is not a party centered around the stage.
For more info, call (937) 461-2437, ext. 2025, or visit the Masquerage.
