I remember going to the Shriner's Circus once as a child. If I recall correctly, though I really don't claim to, there was a lot more promotion of their organization than actual entertainment. Still, I was pretty excited when I saw ads that the Circus Gatti was in town - and better yet, they had a coupon for two dollars off of an adult ticket!
So my roommates Kaylee, Estefani, and I with friends Carlton and Harrison went to the Circus. To be honest, I expected the show to be fairly low-scale (it
is Rexburg, after all) and maybe not worth the price of the ticket (even with the two dollars off), but I was pleasantly surprised! Really, from the moment we stepped inside the "big tent", I was titillating with excitement. What with the ringmaster, aerialists, clowns, BMX "Freaks", carmel apples, and elephant rides (yes, elephant rides), I felt just like a kid again!

Too much fun! If I hadn't had class that night, I might have been tempted to go back and watch the second showing!
