      What a great offer! We haven’t been to the circus in ages and my youngest two have never!!!

  8. Kimberly says

    ‘Awwww! Our little one watched the movie “Animal Crackers” during holiday break and it would be so fun to take her to see a real circus!

  9. Jacqueline Pou says

    We just moved from NY, things have been real tough on the family this would be a nice treat for them.

  27. Makenzee Cohoon says

    I can’t even remember the last time I went to a circus performance – how fun!!

  33. Melanie Oujua says

    Great contest for an awesome event! I’d love to go—even my picky teenager would enjoy this one!

  34. Jan White says

    My family would love to go- we haven’t been out much due to a run of stomach bugs over the holidays and it’s be wonderful to do something fun.

  39. Nancy Miller says

    I can always depend on Triangle on the Cheap to provide me with interesting and fun things to do with my grandchildren! Would love to go!

  42. dawn t. says

    Our family member who would be the most thrilled to go is my 33-year-old son who has different cognitive abilities than others his age. He has been missing going to a circus since years ago when I told him we couldn’t go any more (to Barnum and Bailey) because they were “mean” to the elephants. He still occasionally asks to go but then remembers about the elephants. This would be a real treat for him.

  43. P Joy Beckford says

    I have been waiting for the return of this amazing fair. Can’t wait to the fantastic acts. Whoo hoo!

  56. Susan Bach says

    What a fun opportunity to share with grandkids what it might be like to join the circus! Do Portugal looks like an ideal family activity. We look forward to seeing it

    Oh, this looks like a perfect opportunity for my family and I, my 4 y/o daughter LOVES anything circus related!! Look forward to attending while in town!

  65. Laura Fischer says

    OMG!! I remember going to the circus as a kid! I sat in the front row with my mom and best friend. I had the chance to go on stage. Ut was so awesome. At 55, I would love to relive that memory since my mom forgot to bring her camera!
    It would be so neat to get tickets 😊!

  67. Denise Durant says

    I love a circus it brings out the youth in me at the age of 63 years young, enjoying the circus with my niece and nephews definitely would be an awesome time. Looks like it’s going to be a stone blast!

  75. Cathy Mann says

    Finally! A circus for me and my grandchildren…what a wonderful.way to bring happiness and joy❤️

  90. Patricia C. Satterfield says

    Haven’t been to a circus since the Wringling Brothers last came to town. I have 5 grandchildren who have never been to a circus and this is a great opportunity to see one, especially since it has all of thrills that you would expect. Can’t wait till they get here!

  94. Eric Hart says

    Omg that’s a lotta ppl interested in these !!
    I was born in Portugal have always wanted to learn more about where I came from !

  104. Josh and Bianca Thompson says

    This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to enjoy this amazing event with my children before they grow up and are gone. What a great event to make some wonderful family memories!

  111. Donna Erick says

    I would love to surprise my friend with circus tickets. Her granddaughter is two and has never been to the circus; this would be a great opportunity, as money is tight for the family.

  120. Nicole says

    My favorite childhood memories were at the circus with my mom. Unfortunately, she passed away when I was only 9 years old. But now that I have kids of my own, I want to create similar memories with them. I tell my children stories about the circus all the time, as they have never been there. My son’s 12th birthday is on January 19th, and I think it would be an amazing birthday gift to take him to the circus and create beautiful memories that remind me of my mom. 🥰

    • Pamela Ogaga says

      Watching the Circus live and in person would be a wonder treat for the whole family and a great start to 2024. Crossing all my digits 🤞

  126. Kathy says

    This would be perfect for my 78-year-old husband, who has always been a circus addict. He gets as excited as a child to see the circus. The bonus would be to take our eight-year-old granddaughter with us. No matter your age the circus is always a fun time!

  133. Steph A says

    This looks like a fun event! I enjoyed going to the circus growing up. I’d love to take my nephews so they can experience a circus for the first time!

    This has been a hard last 7 months for my family with being homeless by losing our home to a fire. We finally just got into our own place three weeks ago, and things have been hard because of moving costs. This would be an amazing thing for us to go to the kids would LOVE it.

  265. Heather Ocampo-Graham says
