New Theme!



From The Orlando Sentinel - October 17

"Legends" is the theme of the new edition of the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus that will pull into Orlando in the early days of 2014.
It's a word that would describe several famous circus characters, from the iconic animal trainer Gunther Gebel-Williams to entrepreneur P.T. Barnum, who planted the seeds for the famous circus with his "Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan & Hippodrome" in the mid-19th century.
In its modern incarnation, the big-top extravaganza has expanded to include daredevils, acrobats and an evolving array of acts that cater to the mythical and mysterious. In the Legends show, a unicorn, Pegasus and woolly mammoth are all on the bill, along with such traditional elements as cotton candy, clowns and the ringmaster.
The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus will perform Jan. 9-12 at Amway Center in Orlando. Tickets are $16-$75, on sale Friday.

Well I've seen the goat & a few

shaggy elephants but Jupiter needed

a balloon to fly so I guess they

must have bought some old Mobil Oil

flying red horse & a chain motor

advertising ink long after death

than most living performers

Must be some comfort to his fans
