Banks. If you like Saturday Night Live, you'll like Skip Banks. If

show you a whole new meaning to burning rubber!!! Skip Banks

will provide the Benton County Fair & Rodeo with some of the

most entertaining and unusual novelty acts in the business. He does

it all: the balloon man, inflatable Elvis, the Little Country Kicker.

Thousands agree that Skip Banks is a one of a kind performer.

With his seemingly bottomless trunk of props, Greg frisbee starts with the simplicity of one ball juggling and continues to the dangerous and impressive hands on fire juggling or even the upside-down escape! The show includes juggling, fire-eating, mind reading, extreme balancing, audience participation and above all else - COMEDY!
