This is the real deal, an old fashioned circus you remember from your childhood with elephants and camel rides, carnival atmosphere and food.  The Big Top will be at Friendship Park in Pottsboro on November 13, 2014 with shows at 4:30 pm and again at 7:30 pm.

The Carson & Barnes Circus is The World’s Biggest Big Top Show with two hours of fun, excitement and pageantry for children of all ages! See elephants, horses, ponies and dogs perform amazing tricks in the center ring. Be amazed and thrilled by extraordinary artists from around the world as they entertain you with their death defying feats and exquisite artistry! Every seat is just feet from the action! Come early, the Midway opens one hour before show time with a Free Petting Zoo, plus Elephant and Camel rides.

The Carson & Barnes Circus brings first class family entertainment to all parts of America — small towns to big cities, urban America and Native America, border to border and coast to coast. Each year they search for the best acts from around the world and present them along with world famous animal acts, to produce the World’s Biggest Big Top show.

The sponsor for the circus is the AIM to Learn Foundation, Inc., a new 501c3 corporation providing educational support service for children and youth with a focus on learning and an infusion of the arts and their expression.  Launched in the Texoma Area in 2014, their mission is to be a collaborative outreach to the local schools and other community organizations in the northern Texas and southern Oklahoma areas where the importance of education and the influence of the arts are embraced.

Tickets may be purchased at the Circus Box Office on Circus Day. Child, General Admission and Reserved seating is available.   Discounts are available when tickets are purchased in advance online or locally at Independent Bank in Pottsboro, Collinsville and Sherman.  Discounted tickets can also be purchased by calling 580-743-7292 or online at www.BigTopShow.com.
