We’ve Got A Winner – Havertown Family is Circus-Bound

Thanks to all of you who entered our great Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Circus tickets giveaway, which was sponsored by our good friends at MomCentral.com.  Our handy dandy random itemizer has spoken, and Marc and Jennifer Sanders of Havertown will be taking their family to the circus on May 13.

And we hear double congrats are in order, as Marc, Jennifer and daughter Zofi just welcomed baby Toren Elliot to the clan last week. Congrats to the entire family, and thanks to everyone who shared their circus memories here. 

See ya under the big top!

Contest: Win Tickets to the Greatest Show on Earth

“Come to the circus,everyone loves the circus,
And that includes the merry Mouseketeers…”

Okay, so I’m dating myself. But let’s face it – everyone does love the circus. I mean, what’s not to love? The elephant parade, the dancing bears, the smell of the popcorn and the sticky sweet cotton candy….everything that adds up to making some special memories.

It’s the truth: I can still remember my mom and grandmom dressing the four of us up and taking us on the train to New York City, where we were treated to the big Kahuna of circuses – the Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey three ring show at Madison Square Garden. I remember the animals, the crazy clowns squeezed into a tiny car, the beautiful ladies swinging on trapeze overhead and, most impressively, the man who was shot out of a cannon. Ah, good times.

But you don’t have to go all the way to NYC to catch the latest and greatest in circus shows. Next month, Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey will bring its latest offering, Zing Zang Zoom to our very own Wachovia Spectrum. And these circus giants have teamed up with the great folks at Mom Central to bring a very special deal to you (think CircusOnTheCheap!).
