The annual Barnum Festival, which started in 1948, is shifting online to protect people from coronavirus exposure.
Frank Gennarini, this year's ringmaster, says that the show must go on.
He says clowns have volunteered to teach children how to juggle, and they'll even show kids how to create a juggling ball out of socks.
Gennarini says he has volunteered at the festival for 25 years.
The festival planners say they would love to hear suggestions for social distancing.
