I don't really remember much about my first visit(s) to the circus. I remember going to the circus that was set up in the parking lot of our local shopping center when I was little (5 or 6). Can't say I remember much of the show or what I did or didn't like.
I lived in the suburbs of Chicago and went to Bozo's circus two or three times. My brother was picked to play Bozo's Buckets. I remember trying to scoot over so they would pick me instead. He missed the first bucket his first time and got to try again.
I remember being at a picnic and trying to hide under the table when I saw a clown.
My first trip back to the circus as an adult was two or three years ago when I went to see Ringling Brothers. I saw them again last month when they were in town.
