Ringling Brothers Review

I remember when I went to the circus. I was 5 years old and my mother signed me up for a community field trip. I was captivated by it. I loved watching all the animals and for weeks afterwards I would pretend that I was an acrobat on a trapeeze which was in reality the monkey bar on my swing set. I also remember that there was popcorn for most of the kids. Most kids didn't include me...my parents hadn't sent me with any money, but that's a story for another day. My husband also really enjoyed going to the circus as a kid. In fact he used to see Gunther Gable Williams, who was the famous animal trainer in Ringling Brothers every other year. As such we've discussed taking the our two boys to the circus. As luck would have it, Ringling Brothers is on tour again and specifically will be in Boston Wednesday, October 8 through Monday October 13th.

The good news is that Mom Central has teamed up with Ringling Brothers. Because it's Mom Central, not only do I have some good info for you on the show, but I also have a discount code and the possibility of winning tickets for you too!

To get the discount, simply go to the Ringling Brothers website, enter your zip code, select the date and enter the code MCC. You'll receive 20% off for the cities Boston, Denver, Cleavland, Chicago, St. Louis and Auburn Hills, MI.

Here's the better part. I have two prizes to give away. I am giving away tickets for a family of four to see the circus in Boston and a prize pack which includes a DVD of the show and a program. To enter this contest, please leave your name (and email address if you don't have a Blogger profile) in my comments section. I will select a winner on Tuesday Sept. 30th using random.org.

One of my earliest memories is a very fuzzy one of going to the circus. Mostly I remember that it was the first time I rode a train (the T to get to the circus)!

I can remember being IN the 1976 RB&BB circus and riding around in the ring in a wagon - my brother was so jealous - he was too old to get to be in the wagon.

Please pick us, I would love to scare my children with the chaos of the 3 rings and spend an incredible amount of money on unhealthy food and worthless trinkets.

I remember the cool souvenirs that you could purchase at RB&BB and, of course, the clowns. I have not been to the circus in such a long time and would love to go again.
