How very interesting!  Have any clowns visited local schools?  Do any 
of you aspire to be circus clowns?

I really like the way you write!  The paragraphs are well-organized, 
indented properly, and develop a main idea.  I especially like the 
insertion of a direct quote!
        
It is unfortunate that the circus may have to move.  How will the 
railroad situation "clear up"?  Is money the main obstacle, or is it 
something else?

I think they should stay too.  Are you going to find out what would 
have to be done in order for them to stay?  If money is the main 
problem, maybe the community could collect enough for them to remain 
there.  You could have car washes, candy sales, telethons, etc.
        
Just a friendly suggestion . . . 
        
        Chris
