Around the corner from my house, the first circus of the summer has arrived. The big top is up and they actually have a nice entrance. It's called Rivels Circus, it features live animals, and it will be in town until the 18th. The bigger, big top news is that a second circus, Circus Wigliams, is setting up about two blocks away starting on the 14th. So for about 5 days, there will be two circus's competing for the euros. For those of you who had a chance to see the movie or read the book Water for Elephants, yes, the circus itself is very much like that. I wonder if they will steal acts from each other?
