I won ringside seats, so we went last Saturday.  We went last year also, but D was not able to go since he was travelling for work.  This year we were able to stay for the whole show since it was not a school night.  I thought they did a good job of changing up the show; it did not seem repetitive even though there were some common elements.  It was also not as stuffy as last year, so that was nice.

As you can see, the venue is pretty small, so I do not think there were any “bad” seats in the house.

We were close enough to see some of the “behind the scenes” preparation.

The main clown was back.  His juggling skills are astounding!

The trapeze was directly over our heads.  My neck was getting sore!
