No Great Circus Parade in 2010

By The WTMJ News Team

MILWAUKEE - On Sunday, for the first time since 2003, Milwaukee will host the Great Circus Parade, but it may amount to a final farewell.

Organizers announced Monday morning that the parade will not be held here in Milwaukee next year.

The event has apparently become a victim of the struggling economy.

Parade co-chair William Fox says for some people, Sunday's parade "will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience."

However, he did not rule out a return some time in the future.
