PETA is taking the credit for this. Me: "We hate people!" Wife: "Yes, we do!"

Unfortunately, for Circus People everywhere, people are just not as willing to go in this day of instantaneous entertainment in the palm of your hand.

I'm so glad I went about 30 years ago when the 3 ring circus came to Reunion Arena in Dallas. Quite the show, but I guess everything's time passes.

We visited the Spokane area and took our 4 yr old grandson last year and he loved every minute of it. Especially the clowns and elephants. Sorry to see them go.
