My clown alley Gator Clowns of Jacksonville had all the clowns From Ringling Bros circus thats in town out for dinner. First off I was amazed at how YOUNG these guys were (actually 11 guys and 1 girl) it was a great experience and I know they enjoyed being treated out to a restaurant for steak! and great conversation.

Cool! Whatever else I've said, the circus is still magic to me!

Do you (or does anyone) know if RBBB's winter quarters are still open to the public? I was just reading a book about the Big Show and it says they used to be.

By winter quarters, do you mean the actual put together/rehearsals of the show? I'd highly doubt that. They're pretty zippered up about things to control marketing and all.

If what you mean are things like their costume warehouse, corporate offices in Florida, or rail shops, occasionally they are open for tours to special groups.
