This is unfortunate. With the declining number of families going to the Circus I guess it was inevitable. End of an era. One of the final shows is in Raleigh in February near where I live... maybe I will go re-live my childhood.
"Shutting Ringling Bro. Circus will cost 462 jobs, owners say. To be fair, newly unemployed clowns and carnival barkers should easily be able to find suitable employment in all levels of government"
