The Cole All-Star Circus was founded in 1938 by James M. Cole of Penn Yan, N.Y. The indoor circus was designed as a fund-raising event for school groups and organizations across New York State. Upon Mr. Cole's retirement in 1987, the circus has been under the direction of Billy Martin, of Olean, N.Y.

The 90-minute circus performance features variety acts including jugglers, trapeze, unicycles, performing dogs, balancers, comedy, novelty and specialty acts, enhanced with stage/theatrical lighting, music, and special effects.

With current acts like the Diggety Dog Revue, cyclist Wesley Williams, hula hoopist Colleen Pages, the one and only Slinko, Russian multi-talent Ivan Arestov, Ariel Excellence, comedian Roger and his trampoline and Roscoe the performing pig, the Cole All-Star Circus offers a variety of family entertainment seven days a week.
