Marissa Miles, 5 of Bennettsville was the first volunteer of the performance. She learns a few ball tricks from "Oscar". Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus celebrated the healing power of laughter Wednesday afternoon with a special performance for patients at Palmetto Health Children’s Hospital. Circus performers "Rosie", "DJ" and "Oscar" performed, blew bubbles and passed out red noses and ’Beads of Courage’ that the children can use to mark the milestones on their journey to good health.
