We are so excited to be able to offer YOU a chance to go!!

Now…what we need to know is…who is your child’s favorite Disney character??  Tell us the character and why you know this is your child’s favorite!  My little girl LOVES Cinderella…she has to have EVERYTHING she can with Cinderella on it…she explains that Cinderella is like her because she has blonde hair too!  (and that Cinderella loves makeup and dresses like her!)…

So, tell us your child’s favorite and why…good luck…we’ll use random.org to pick our winner but can’t wait to read all of your comments!  We plan to pick the winner this afternoon around 5:00…what a great way to start a beautiful spring-weather weekend!!

Wow…if that little quote from Ringling Bros. doesn’t make you excited about the circus…well, I just don’t know what will!  I started thinking about my memories of the circus…anyone else remember the year they brought the unicorn?  Or the year they introduced “King Tusk” the elephant?  I just love how Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey “do” the circus.  They have two different shows that run for two years.  That way, you get a different show each year.  This year, the BJCC is hosting the Red Unit…it is titled “Fully Charged”.  They advertise a “Fully Charged” animal trainer, a strongman duo, athletic brothers, a rocket-man, and of course, the CLOWNS!!!  I know my family is going to love the entertainment!

Don’t miss out on getting your tickets…and now, of course, the circus is interactive…so, you don’t need to miss out on the “all access preshow” where you can dress as a clown and see animals and circus celebrities up close!

And, while we’re at it…why don’t we give you a chance to WIN four tickets to the circus??  Just tell us your favorite circus memory…when you were a child, or through the eyes of your own children.  We can’t wait to read your comments!

Winner will be drawn Wednesday, January 19, 2011 around 2pm!

Winners are Debbie Gergerich and Jennifer T.

Please shoot an email to jcarr@bhamkidsdirectory.com or call 988-4020,  so we can get the tickets to you.
