The Hop and steveNyou Present The Aerial Space Cadet Circus!


Asheville's premiere fundraising circus show returns, featuring Western North Carolina’s best aerial arts, juggling, comedy, aerobatics, acrobatics and more!



Tickets at the door: $10 (suggested) for adults, $5 (sugg'd.) for kids. No one will be turned away.

The Aerial Space Cadets team up with Asheville’s own Forty Fingers And A Missing Tooth juggling troupe for an unforgettable afternoon of comedy and skill.

The show is family-friendly and includes performers such as the
extraordinary *** Sophie The Wonderdog *** alongside members of Asheville Vaudeville and the Runaway Circus. Ice Cream from The Hop Ice Cream Café.

Emcee: Baron Von Sneeden of Asheville Vaudeville.

Classes and demonstrations in the circus arts will take place during and after the performance, giving kids of all ages the opportunity to learn juggling and aerial arts.

Proceeds from the show will benefit the Aerial Space Student Scholarship
Fund, helping low-income families bring aerial arts to their communities, and the Smoky Mountain Juggling Festival.


The Aerial Space Cadet Circus is produced by http://steveNyouPresents.com, a grassroots organization that has raised tens of thousands of dollars for local charities since 2008, including Loving Food Resources, Big Brothers/Big Sisters and Our Voice.

Team Hop Ice Cream Run/Walk for Autism

Being part of the lives of people on the Autism Spectrum, even if it's just scooping them Ice Cream, is a very moving experience. If you've ever known someone with Autism, chances are you know what I mean. If you haven't, here is just a glimpse. That is why we continue to support this community of people.


The Hop's relationship with the Autistic community began in 2007 by the request of Jessica Olivencia, one of our employees. Her brother is on the Spectrum and she hoped The Hop would become a sponsor for the Autism Society's annual Run/Walk for Autism. We did and have done so every year since.

The 2011 Run/Walk for Autism is now just around the corner (Saturday September 24th), and Jessica has expressed interest in submitting Team Hop Ice Cream to help raise more awareness and funds for the Autism Society! And we are reaching out to all of you for help.

GOAL: To get 50 people to join Team Hop Ice Cream and to raise $1250+ for the Autism Society!!!
