Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus!

February 20, 2014 By Anne

Tickets were provided to see the circus.

The Ringling Bros and Barum & Bailey Circus came to Jacksonville, FL last month and ewre so excited to be ale to go! We’ve been a few times in years past, but this was one that my daughter will remember for a long time!

When I went a little girl there were always three rings and we always sat high up in the seats and you could barely see anything. Now Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey has only one ring and it’s more of a small town feel.

Each circus time allows for an hour per-show where you can get up and personal with the cast. Here Savannah was watching the elephant paint pictures. And she got her picture taken with one of the cast members!

The circus was so much fun and we were all excited to see the show. I was able to take my brother along, who hasn’t been to a circus in more than 25 years. He was like a little kid.

It’s amazing what the performers can do!

The motorcycles in the metal ball were amazing! I can’t believe they all fit and that no one got hurt! And the lions and tigers, Oh my! There was a moment I thought the one tiger was going to eat the trainer…

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey presented Legends’ and it was pretty cool if I do say so my self…

We saw a Unicorn, a Pegasus and a Woolly Mammoth! Wow!

At the end my brother said, “This really is the greatest show on Earth!.”

Have you been to the circus lately?

I am the lawn care taker in the family. I don’t really want that position but it has been bestowed upon me so I do the best I can do. I do know that feeding the lawn is very important. Important for the growth of your grass and to get rid of weeds. Scotts Lawn Care has a new product coming out especially for Florida grass. It will be only be available in Ft. Myers and Jacksonville to begin with. Bonus S is an existing lawn care product designed specifically for southern grass and weeds. But a new, more effective formula that’s guaranteed to clear out listed weeds including dollarweed and clover is being rolled out this spring! I’m excited to have my lawn be one of the first to try this new formula! I have St. Augustine Grass and this will work just fine with Scotts Turf Builder.

So what can you look forward to with the new formula? Well – it’s new and improved! It’s also the most effective Bonus S formula ever that’s guaranteed to clear out listed weeds including dollarweed and clover. Which is something my lawn needs help with in certain areas. Bonus S controls 82% more types of weeds. Yeah! Bonus S is Now safe for more major southern grass types including St. Augustinegrass (including Floratam), bermudagrass(new), centipedegrass, zoysiagrass, seashore paspalum(new) and buffalograss(new). Like I said I believe our grass I St. Augustine Grass. That’s all we’ve ever had even living in South Florida for over 30 years. You can purchase the new Bonus S at major retailers in the Jacksonville & Ft. Myers area. I will be following up with more information about Bonus S in the next few weeks. I can’t wait for Spring to come so I can get rid of some dead flowers and spruce our lawn!
