Farewell to the Circus

Posted

I read with a heavy heart today when I heard the story about Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus performing their last show in Providence ), I remember many years ago taking my twin daughters when the circus was performing at the Rhode Island auditorium and always enjoyed the greatest show on earth, this was really a big event for my daughters and myself, and sad for the clowns and other performers who lose their jobs, after all there are not too many places that are hiring clowns, trapeze artists and I don't remember seeing an ad in the paper for lion trainer.

However looking on the brighter side of things we still have all the clowns at the Statehouse preforming for our enjoyment.

David Corralez said it best:

“A Dirty Clown Is a Ridiculously Clean when standing amongst Politicians.”
