The Nelson Mail reports, "If there's one thing that makes little Americus Wilson come to life, it's hula hoops. ... There's no doubt she's a born star, especially considering her family's connection to the world of big tops. Her father Markus Loritz, who was originally from Germany and established the Cambridge-based circus three years ago, was the seventh generation to be part of circus life.

Accompanied by pet dog Shrek, baby sister Miley, 7 months, and grandmother Sue Wilson, Americus and her family are on the road for 49 weeks of the year." The Nelson Mail
