I Ran Away With The Circus!! (and you can too!)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 вер 2024
- Every child (and many adults) have dreamed of running away with the circus, and I was able to live out a bit of that childhood dream when the Venardos Circus came to town! You see, the Venardos Circus is a little different than your average circus, in that they are huge promotors of people following their dreams. And as someone who is currently working on exactly that, it struck a chord with me as I sat in the audience during last years Oregon performance. So when I saw that they were coming back to town this year, I reached out to and pitched the idea of joining forces for a few days to show some of what goes into creating your very own field of dreams, and to hopefully motivate others to reach for the stars in their own way.
Kevin's story is a pretty interesting one, and one that has proven that if your heart is in it, nothing can stop you. The team he's assembled are some of the most amazing and talented people I have every met, and strike an amazing balance between hard work, and a sustainable family life. This little circus and their message is doing far more than entertaining families, its encouraging them as well, and if they are ever in your area I HIGHLY recommend you check them out, and can promise that you won't be disappointed!

Casey, Your video inspired me to make the 3 hour drive to attend Sunday afternoon performance of the Venardos Circus. We had a great time, and will attend again in the future. Thanks for another great video!
For starters, yes I had to re upload this video do to a mistake I made in the original upload this morning. But more importantly, yes, this turned into a way longer video than I was expecting, but to cut out any more of the setup process would have been a huge disservice to the people who put in an amazing amount of work to make it happen, and the conversation with Kevin at the end came so natural and from the heart that leaving it as one solid clip was far more meaningful than trying to cut it down for time (and in reality I’m sure we could have talked for hours). So I hope you guys enjoy this video even half as much as I enjoyed filming it with this amazing group of people!
Make it a 2 hour video. We will watch.
Yes i for one could have seen much more of this amazing crew and show. Casey awesome way of keeping use entertained. So much better than regular TV in my humble opinion. God Bless The Venardos.
lol, yes "due to a mistake... " - indeed - Edit exists for errors or inconsistencies in comments sir... we all make typos or errors off the cuff _esp typing on phones.
@@kadmow Nope, once something is uploaded to UA-cam it is what it is, you can’t change the video after it’s up.
It was cool! Great video. I hope you guys have fun at the show tonight...peace.
Casey, I am continually impressed by your depth of character. As a 55 year old man who's seen more than I've wanted, done more than many ever should... I can honestly say you are amazing. You're not perfect (I never said I was good at this 😂) but you are honest, hard working, observant, clever, industrious, resourceful, caring, reflective, thoughtful, generous, beneficent, and cool to the core. I appreciate you generating UA-cam content that shows all these good things and more. Your wonder in looking at the faces of your 4yo daughter and the 60yo couple at the circus, your taking time to stop at a flash flood waterfall in the high desert to just sit and live in the moment... I'm a fan. I know I'd enjoy being your neighbor or just going on a recovery with you! Thanks and keep on rolling.
you said it very well - it would be an honor to be part of Casey's world!
10 -4 that again
I enjoy the recovery content don’t get me wrong, but this is probably the hands down best video you have made. The recovery stuff is what you do, this video defines who your are.
Casey, you have the best channel on UA-cam as you have variety. Doing this review of the circus from the ground up and then the inspirational conversation with Kevin was excellent.
Keep it real! You, Kevin, and Douglas are real. Thanks for taking us behind the curtain to see the rest of the circus. Buying a ticket only gets you the show. You brought us the "rest of the story".
The show must go on.
Thank You! Thank You! I just had my 92 birthday and this is a great present. Well Done! Great Memories.
I admire your ability to produce content about anything and make it feel like I am watching a Discovery mini documentary.
I'll watch anything you create. Keep 'em coming!!
What a Story. That guy is an absolute stallion! What an example of someone not giving up and following their dreams no matter what situation they're in.
Thank you so much for bringing this video to us. I went to their website and got tickets for my kids, my grand kids , our one great grandson (1 year old) and ourselves. Your video sold us all . Thanks again.
Casey you are becoming quite the videographer. Excellent presentation & content. A delight to watch. Kudos to you. Sxx
I am a HUGE fan of the traveling circus. Before the internet (and TV and radio) the circus was the only way people could experience the outside world from the comfort of their towns.
Whaaaaaaaat is this. Never expected content like this on the channel, yet this video is going on my list of favorites. What an awesome story, I'm sending this to friends right now.
There seems to me to be a commonality between you Casey, and Kevin. Passion for what you do - and it shows! I have enjoyed watching this documentary (calling it a video does not do it justice) so much and it gladdens my heart! Thank you so much. Richard (UK)
Spot on comment 👍
Casey is great and his channel one of the best.
From a fellow Brit 🇬🇧🏴
I enjoy one of The British UA-camrs called Cruising the cut about people who live in the fascinating Longboats and the businesses who keep them stocked with life's necessities while living on the canal system. Good Day!
This man, Venardo is thinking forward and other owners need to look at what he's doing for his staff, thanks Casey
I must admit, I never knew about your Monster Truck career. I am sure many did, but I for one did not. I found myself watching this documentary video and feeling as if I was watching 60 minutes or Sunday Morning or something of that nature. You provided insight into Mr. Vernardos and his extended family that make up the Vernardos Circus. It is my hope that those folks, be it young or old, are inspired to follow their dreams after watching this. Wonderful job Casey. May you continue to be blessed in all that you do. You are one of those good ones that "say what you mean and mean what you say." . We need that now more than ever. John here, from that back-roads of Northeastern Tennessee.
In this ever changing world that we live in, to reconstitute and revive a once thriving tradition takes heart, a goal and the drive to succeed. My top hat is doffed to Kevin and his evolving cast for living their dream. Chasing your dream is its own reward, to share it with others is the pinacle.
I took my daughter last year when they came to Louisville and knew right away we would go back every year. I look forward to them coming back this year in a new, bigger tent. Cool behind the scenes video and interview with Kevin! Nice work Casey!
Nice job, Casey! I really enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for working so hard to re-upload the video. Nice change from your other videos. ❤Thank you for all you do to keep us entertained. ❤️ 😊
Phenomenal videography and interview, glad you didn't shorten it any more. Thank you, sir!
That is a huge amount of work and these guys do it over and over again. Much respect for these hard workers.
There hard workers for sure , if they quit clowning around it would be done . Lol dam hand standing clowns
They are all Performers' too!
This was like an episode of Dirty Jobs. It's always great to see people that are truly passionate about what they do. I love the randomness of your content🤣👏🇺🇸
I respect that you take the time and effort to support the people that are doing their own thing. I enjoy the verity of content that you cover. Keep up what your doing!
That was very cool!
WHAT A FABULOUS VIDEO! Thank you for your broad perspective of the world around you. To include us is incredible and I enjoy each and every time you put together a new video. I also must say the quote you made about the 4 year old and the 60 year old is something this world need more of. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Casey for the reasons that you are my number one go to channel on UA-cam. You just never know where you're going to go what you're going to do but you can always count on it being awesome informing an entertaining. I have noticed before on the brief interviews you have conducted in the past for interviewing but you are very very good at it. So thank you so much it was just spectacular with an awesome message thanks so much❤
Casey, you are now a documentary maker!👍👍👍👍👍. That was awesome!!
That's awesome Casey how you do so many different things and definitely put out positivity in the world. You definitely make everyone in your day better for meeting you.
This was an awesome video, all of it. It could have been longer and I still would have watched. The interview with Venardo was really well done. A conversation between two friends. His charisma and passion is infectious and must be part of his success. Definitely want to find out if they are coming my way at any point!
The website shows they're coming my way this fall and winter. We're going. 😊
Casey - the breadth of your content is exceptional. The way you keep coming up with new and yet relevant videos is inspiring! you never disappoint. We all appreciate Venardos for allowing a glimpse into the circus life! Thank you!
What a great video, Casey. Thank you Kevin for sharing your story, even in an abbreviated form. So interesting to see the setup
Casey, this is one of the most awesome things that you have shown to us. I have been to a few circus performances in decades past, 60 years ago now, you have brought back the old time feelings that we, as kids and parents experienced... this is the first time, I have seen an interview with anyone in the circus environment.. Thank you so much for this.
Casey I have been looking forward to this video. Seeing behind the scenes was definitely very educational and I enjoyed hearing the back story.
I will be honest one of my dreams is getting the opportunity to meet all of you guys in person is something I truly want.
That was really a great video and a terrific interview. You, Casey, really didn't have to hardly say anything. With just a little prompting, Kevin was off and running telling about his adventure.
Thanks once again sir for taking us with you to the circus
Love the way you reach out to other professionals to share a day in there lives. Gives your audience other perspectives to ponder. Also , answers how they may be able to pursue there possible dreams.
I am not into very many interviews but that was one of the best. I have seen interviews with quite a lot of “famous” people but that interview with Venardo was TOPNOTCH !!!! Thanks Casey and Venardo 😊😊
Amazing story. The care for all the people and families shines through. Thank you for sharing this story.
Wow, Kevin has created an awesome business plan for his team, including a teacher, That is one reason he is growing. God bless your ventures and Thank You Casey for bringing us along.
This is a great video. I have really enjoyed this episode. Thank you Casey and Kevin for taking us to the Circus!
This is a fabulous video and a lot of fun to 👀😊
Well, this episode certainly came out of (rock-filled) left field - and I'm so glad it did! What an awesome piece of work - both the tent-raising AND the terrific interview in the second half. I'm sure there was a temptation to try to trim it down, but I'm SO glad you didn't. This is an absolute gem of a documentary in its truest sense. Bravo.
That was different from your usual videos, absolutely amazing and inspiring, thanks!
BRILLIANT INTERVEIW / CHAT .... BOTH AMAZING GUYS AND TO SEE THE PASSION .. WOW
What a joy to watch two men have an honest, heartfelt conversation about what is important to them plus insight into the work that goes into getting the big top ready for the show. Casey, you have an amazing talent for telling stories through video.
Circus coming through Washington in the 1980s summer time some of my best childhood memories
Absolutely brilliant. Love seeing travelling circus. It's a shame lots all over the world folded due to the pandemic which is a shame. Great work Kevin and crew and thank you Casey for filming the build and story
I'm glad that you didn't cut any of this video - not only a tribute to the wonderful people involved, but also a very poignant point of chasing your dream - you never know what you'll achieve until you try.
Casey, this is one of the best videos I have watched on the UA-cams !
Absolutely awesome to see the love and respect, the hard work and dedication to something that is as pure as a circus.
Thank you very much for taking the time to do the video and share with us.❤
Casey thank you so much for bringing this to me and perhaps us. I personally loved it. I've never gotten this kind of insight before. I have worked around Circque du Soleil. They were fascinating people. Didn't get as much time. To speak with them as I would've liked. Still enjoyed our conversations. God bless
I know the performers are amazing but the parts that intrigue me the most are the mechanics involved in building the structure necessary to make it happen. From the tent going up to the lights and sound system. That's the really interesting part.
I will DEFINITELY give this a second watch!!
Your channel is for snow rescues and you show us beautiful Central Oregon snowscape. It's for Cascade Heavy Rescues and you show us compassion for a rockie Russion gearjammer on his solo run. Then you run off to the circus and talk about dreams. What's next? Whatever it is I'll & we'll be eagerly watching even if is just checking the oil in a U-Haul truck to save them a buck. Keep up the good and varied work.🎉🎉🎉❤❤
Your show on the circus made me appreciate them more. Thank You Casey.
Kevin talking about Ringling Brothers circus sure brought back memories. My great aunt and uncle lived in Merrimack Wisconsin which is close to Baraboo where the circus was based. They lived on lake Wisconsin and when we would hear the whistle from the circus train we would hop in the boat and haul you know what to get to the railroad bridge so we could watch the train go by! This was back in the 60s when they still had the steam engine! Memories!!!
Always something different and always worth watching.
Casey you keep raising your own bar by raising others. Amazing behind the scenes well done
Awesome video! Thank you for sharing. It's so interesting to hear Venardos' story. ⭐️
Nicely Done.
Yes, it is an eye-opener as he said to see this behind the scenes video.
God Bless our American Circus 🎪
Omg thank you so much Casey and Kevin 👍👍
Thank you for sharing this. I never understood how much set up work went into this and just how much pride and how many jobs they provide to people right along with the joy that they bring to each community that they visit.
Watching the two guys driving that stake in reminds me of another life, watching ex south African miners working for Boswell Wilkies circus in southern Africa. They were huge Zulu men and everything was done to them singing. Three of them would get around a stake like that, each with a twelve pound sledge and 123,123,123 around in a triangle they'd drive those stakes like a three cylinder machine. A couple of minutes and they'd go to the next one. Fascinating to watch. The process is taught in the miner's school for rock breaking underground and they're so fit they can keep it up for hours.
Thanks for a change of operations. Looks like you enjoyed yourself.
Casey, This is one of your very best videos that you've ever made. Starting off with a behind the scenes setting up of the circus to the incredible interview at the end. With that interview, you've put many reporters to shame. It was that great. You were that great. Please keep up your fantastic work.
Very Awesome! Thanks for the backstage sneak peek!!
High on my list of favorite videos! Always go to Venardos Circus with my grandchildren when they come to town!
That was an amazing video. Thank you for sharing this with us. Kevin is an awesome man, quite humble too. Casey, you did a very good job with the interview. At no time did you put Kevin on the spot or make him feel uncomfortable. Watching the crew put up the tent was spectacular. I enjoyed all 43 minutes of this video.
I had the opportunity to crew on the Ice Capades set-up many years ago. It was very interesting to see the method of putting all of the sets and equipment together. The stuff arrived in a train of small trailers that each held a set or piece of equipment for the show. They were all assembled using wires that fit in hinge like pieces. we were told to bring a pair of pliers and a hammer, that was all the tools needed for assembly. I had to go to the show just to see how the sets looked and worked for the performance. They looked and worked great.
Fantastic interview Casey! Well done
WOW. fantastic, just fantastic!!! What a fun opportunity to watch the set up, meet and work with the crew. Keep it up Casey
We took the whole family to see Vernardos last year and it was awesome!
Thank you, Casey! Your passion as well as his showed through. I was sorry to see this video end.
You can see the love that Kevin has for the Circus. Very contagious
All I can say is THANK YOU. Amazing!
What an absolutely amazing group of individuals. Thanks so much to Kevin and his compatriots for allowing us to get a glimpse behind the curtain, and thanks very much to you for bringing us along Casey.
That was as good, if not better than any BBC production, well done to you and to the circus.
What a fantastic story you’ve told here. The message on following one’s dreams is right on. Kevin has an extraordinary work ethic to make a circus work in todays world. The interview you and he did and the setting up of the circus was outstanding. Thanks!
That was one of the best interviews. Fun to watch. Had a lot of emotion to it. Nice job.
Casey. You video's never cease to amaze. The diversity of your content is amazing please don't stop.
Well Casey, Nobody can say that your videos are boring. You never know what it's going to be, but it's ALWAYS a fun time with Casey LaDelle. I have never once, not one single solitary time have I ever regretted subscribing to your channel. There is always something new, something fun and exciting to do and see with you. Thank you for sharing your life with us. God Bless you Sir.
This is amazing, would have loved to see more detail in a longer video. More like this, please!
that was a Great Interview! As a truck driver, im always passing old properties with old circus rigs parked out back to rot. I thought they were a thing of the past. He seems so Genuine and friendly. Great Video!
This was a very cool and inspiring episode. Thanks for keeping the bits you did. Hope your family enjoy / enjoyed the show again this year. Loved the interview.
One of your best vids yet!! Thanks for showing all the hard work and skills involved in putting it on the ground. The interview was top notch. Well done! 👍🏻
And you _STILL_ managed to
wriggle a "STUCK" & "Recovery" into this Motivational Documentary :
( the drill bit got STUCK , &
then "Recovered" ) 👍
That Was TOTALLY INCREDIBLE, You Out Did Yourself With That One
👍👍👍👍👍😉
HVe enjoyed every video of yours I've seen, this one, is truly my favorite. I'm 60 and I feel the inspiration from you, Kevin and Douglas's words. Thank you. God Bless.
Holy cow Casey!! What an amazing video! Thank you for sharing the circus with us. I did want to ask a question though. You and Kevin talked a little about you as a touring monster truck driver?!?! That’s not something I’ve ever heard your talk about before. Can you please tell us more about that? I would find that absolutely fascinating. Thanks again!
Yep, I raced monster trucks for quite a few years
@@CaseyLaDelle that’s awesome! I’d love you to tell us some stories….and Maybe take us through a monster truck show like your did the circus???? Thanks again for sharing your life with us.
Watching the interview I think it's safe to say that Kevin Venardo is an incredibly humble person. You were gloating about him and bragging on his behalf and he just kind of almost bashfully interjected "well idk maybe not" type of mindset. A lot of respect towards him because of that.
That's impressive! Thanks for showing us this Casey.
Thank you for sharing the Circus. What a great video and Absoutely wonderful interview . You did an amazing job. Enjoy the Circus,🌹❤️
Interview with Kevin Venardos starts at 19:40 is REALLY GREAT. He is a great inspiration, and Casey you are a great interviewer just letting Kevin talk, but also knowing the right questions being a person that is living their dream. I see they will be in Tacoma, WA and will plan on seeing the show.
Incredible! Probably the best video I have watched on UA-cam.
This was so full of things I have never seen and things I never would have thought of. 😊 you did an amazing job making this video.
Thank you Casey, enjoy the show with your family. 😊😊😊
Wow Casey, We're never starved for variety on your Channel from model T's to the Circus. Its all a great watch Thanks
I have a lot of catching up to do on earlier videos. I found this one and it is so inspiring. At 75 and after 50 years of providing the public and college students in recreation and sports facilities, I am deeply touched by this video. Thank you
Thia is one of the best videos I have seen. Casey is like a veteran news interviewer and relates easily with the crew and Kevin. Kevin has a good philosophy of providing good value for persons who buy a ticket to enjoy their show. So many businesses forget where their paycheck comes from. Satisfied customers and patrons will assure a paycheck.
One of the most amazing things I watched when I was a kid is the elephants setting up the circus tent! They drove most of the stakes with the hydraulic press on the back of the truck, but they had the elephants stomp a few of them in what seemed effortless and extremely controlled while the trainer was holding the stakes, and then they chained the main poles bases to 2 elephants in harnesses while 2 other elephants used their trunks to stabed the top into the main grommet and the one's in harnesses drag the main poles into the ground like 3 feet! It's one of the most impressive team work between man and animals that I have ever seen!
Loved this vid, especially the first half. It was all good I just liked seeing how the tent when together.
This was so great! I have been to the Circus many times. I will watch for this one in our area. I have so much respect for this crew!! Thanks Casey.
I would have never expected a video like this when I joined this channel. Casey, you surround yourself with great people, and we love these videos!
Thank you Casey. That was interesting, educational, jaw dropping and heart warming. Did not feel long at all. Just wow!!
That was spectacularly awesome Casey!!!!
Thank you Casey. This IS the best video I have seen for a long, long time.
I am sharing this on FaceBook.
