Good morning everyone

Happy Friday to all

I was watching the news and the Circus is in town

So it gave me the idea for
Todays question:

"Have you ever gone to the circus?"
Extra credit :
Would you go now as an adult if the circus came to your town ?

Today in history:
January 18, 1644 1st UFO sighting in America, by perplexed pilgrims in Boston

Word of the day:
kerfuffle (kuhr-FUHF-uhl) noun
disorder, A commotion.

Today is Winnie the Pooh day

P.S. The record for posts so far is 61 lets see if we can beat that number today.

lol this is a easy question so it should be a "piece of cake"

I have gone with the kids,

i will never go again....

Not alone, not with the kids... The people performances are nice, but I just don't like seeing the animals..

I went as a child many many years ago.

Every time the Circus comes to town I ask hubby
"ooo the Circus, do you want to go?"

lol well as you can tell I am still asking

hmm maybe I need to ask the Jax PPP if they want to go

This is me too, it just depresses me. So, the only circus I go to now, is Cirque du Soleil.

Good morning Karla, and all! It's a blustery day here in the hundred acre woods (I mean the Pocono's)

We took our kids to the circus twice, when they were younger. I never had a thought I would walk out of there having spent hundreds of dollars, between tickets for 5, refreshments, and all of the promotional items they walk around with.

I'll bet there was quite a kerfuffle when that UFO went over Boston!

I used to love the circus and have taken my kids. I don't have the stomach for it any more....and even if I did, my GD would protest loudly.

Once I even took my son to a rodeo- it was so, so sad.

Yea Ive taken my kids a few times to Circuses. My dad used to take us to Circus-Circus in Vegas, from time to time. Since childhood, the one dream Ive always had (one of many) was to be one of those trapeze girls, that jump from one to the other.

I don't recall ever going to the Circus, In Fort Lauderdale I'm sure they had them but I went to Pirates World "Closed long ago" Disney World after it opened, Silver Springs, I guess every thing but the Circus.

If they had a decent Circus in east Tennessee I would go if my kids wanted to. They had a Circus in Erwin where they hung the Elephant...lol I won't let that one go.
