The stars of the snow, are a no show.

"It was sold out and it had been sold out for weeks," said CSI Arts and Enrichment Coordinator Jessica Williams.

The Peking Acrobats was just one of the seven Arts on Tour performances set to appear at CSI.

"It's one of actually several shows have been sold out for this season of the arts on tour."

And while many events around the Magic Valley have been canceled this week due to weather, this event was scrubbed for a different reason.

"Peking acrobats were actually traveling from China to the United States to embark on their 2024 US tour and the College of Southern Idaho just Happened to be the first stop for them on that tour. And unfortunately, there have been a delay in their travel documents for them to be able to travel over to the U.S."

Current ticket-holders will receive an email with instructions on how to get their money back and people can also call the CSI Box Office or visit in person.
