It's not the Great Pumpkin, it's BIG APPLE CIRCUS!

Although it's still hot and steamy in FL,

fall is here and that means some of my favorite circus days are ahead.

The Big Apple Circus opens in NYC soon!

Don't wait until the last minute to get tickets

The awesomely beautiful Christine Zerbini and equine friend.

"Bello is Back" is the title of this year's show.

Opening Thursday, October 22 for its Lincoln Center run until January 18, 2010.

The Big Apple Circus is Broadway meets European style one-ring show.

So close the dirt flies up from the hooves of the horses into your laps and the aerialists put a kink in your neck, the show sets the standard for circus in a way only New York can.

Not to worry, Grandma will be there too!

Ok, so I'm partial, Barry is one of my favorite clowns, EVER!
