I had not been to a circus in many years. My wife and I took our kids to a Mexican circus touring…read moreCA. This circus is local and based in the area so we decided to support the local business and come out. All the traditional things; snow cones, hot dogs, cotton candy, lots of stinky animal smells, and flashing light up toys! The acts are all pretty good. I'm amused by the animal trainers who are far more animated and projecting amazement and large physical movements while the animals are taking everything in stride. Just another day at the office. At intermission there are elephant rides inside the main ring! Everyone one working here is polite, the support crew is really focused and I'm surprised how clean it is under the tent. Spring for the VIP or the reserved tickets. The seating and views are definitely better. Buy tickets online to save $5 per person even in the better tickets. Outside is a few food stands and gift shop. Great place for a fun date or take the whole family!

We went too this Circus twice now. We we took our Grandkids there on March 2ed 2019 the show was…read moremuch better. They had Lions,Tigers,Camels, more horses. Now it's like everything else. Less for more. We had a good time at yesterday's performance but $111. admission, $23. for a few snacks was just a little much for the crappy 2ed part consisting of a whistling clown and a little girl running around, a solo trapeze act, "The laser man" (sucked), slinky man sucked, the motorcycle act (all ways awesome). The price of elephant doubled from $10. PP to $20.PP. They probably won't be around much longer!

I am just starting to work out and i tried another gym for one month but i didn't feel that i was welcome there. When i went to check out girlfriends gym it was far more welcoming than the previous one i tried. They have zumba classes here as well as most of the typical equipment you would find in any gym. It's 24 hour access which is nice. It's small but usually not too crowded. The price of a membership is reasonable (24-30 per month) The only downside for some might be that some of the weights don't go over 30 pounds or so.
