Ringling Bros. Circus Giveaway

September12

* This Contest Has Now Ended *
Another blog giveaway is ready for the taking. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey is helping us offer you an awesome experience for you and your family. The circus is coming up soon and will be at Rupp Arena from September 25 through the 28. Two runner-up winners will will each receive a family four pack of tickets to the circus on Thursday, September 25 at 7:00pm. One Grandprize winner will win a family four pack of tickets to the same show as well as a signature plush elephant (137th Edition) which is specific to each tour. In order to qualify to be one of the winners, all you need to do is follow the rules below.
The rules are simple as always:

- Leave a comment on this post.

- In your comment, tell us what you would do as your act if you joined the circus.

- Be sure to leave the comment with an email address you check frequently, since that will be how we will contact you if you are one of the winners.

The giveaway will end at 5:00pm EST on Monday, September 22. After it is over, we will take all the entries and have our super-awesome-state of the art-crazy-hydrolic-monkey operated-random-post comment-picker machine determine a winner. We have a very smart monkey, and if he detects that someone has entered the giveaway more than once then not only will they be disqualified, but they will be forced to watch videos of teeth being pulled for the next year. Talk about cruel and unusual punishment. No one want to see that happen, so be sure to enter ONLY ONCE. In the event that you are a winner, you will need to respond within 24 hours of receiving the email, otherwise we will have to find a replacement winner.

We hope that even if you aren’t one of the lucky winners, you will still come out and join us for one of the shows. Good luck to all who enter!

I would be the dangerou flying super acrobat!!!

Delisa Cooper

Since we are a family of no talents, I guess we would have to be clowns. At least, at local events my children are considered to be the entertainment factor-they always do something bizzare that has everyone dying laughing. We would love to go to the circus!!!!!

Troy

I would be a clown because I like to make people laugh.

If I had my own circus act I would be the daredevil mom of the big top. I would perform death defying acts all while performing my motherly duties. I would be shot out of a cannon straight to the school to pick up my daughter. I would ride a motorcycle in a cage while checking homework. Finally, I would tame a lion and fix dinner at the same time. This all seems possible in a life of a daredevil super mom. See you at the cirus!

She says she would love to dress up like a clown and work with dogs or even dress like a clown and pile hundreds herself and lots of dogs AND CATS into a small car. Now that would be interesting to see!

Bridget Moss

If I was in the circus my act would be nothing different then what I do everyday!! I live in a circus with a 10 year boy an 8 year old boy and a 4 year old girl. I can do balancing acts with multiple activities, Sometimes I even feel like I tame tigers and lions when the kids are fighting, I walk a tight rope on how not to seem like I am favoring one child over the other, and of couse you have to have alittle clown in you everyday to make life fun and exciting. So we live in a pretend circus everday! How fun would it be to go watch the circus for real. So please pick us!!!

Tonya Cockerel

If i could join the circus, I would love to be able to multi task and do all the acts. Any part of a circus is exciting and fun, on the ground, in the air entertaining the crowd. My three year old would like to be part of the animal acts because she is an animal lover. Her second option is to sell toys or concessions. My whole family could join the circus tomorrow and fit right in. Thanks!

Paula

If I were to join the circus, I would be a juggler...I feel like one every day with two kids, being a teacher, and keeping up at home.

Michelle

Since the kids just started gymnastics I would say we would be a family of acrobats. Not much talent but we sure would have fun!

Ken Huller

The act I would take part in would have the viewers see me at a computer totally oblivious to the other surroundings. All around me things would be happening such as:
-an elephant would pick-up the platform me and my workstation sat and move me around, all the while still oblivious
-lions would enter the room and appear to be about to devour me while I still didn't see
-monkeys would come in after the lions and cause havoc all about the space without me reacting to any of it
Then to end the scene the elephant would pick the platform up and put it in a corner diminishing the importance of me and the computer act and saying "the heck with him if he doesn't see..." The circus would continue as it had been to another act and every now and again the spotlight might go back and take a look or the monkeys may take over the computer.

Jeff curtis

My son "Trouble" would love to be an animal trainer because he loves all animals.

Patty Hopkins

I would have each one of my pets to walk on the high wire. My English bulldog would have to be very careful. My family could swing & do high flying stunts.

Kaylie Wise

i would be a tight rope walker in the Ringling Brothers Circus

Helen Williams

If I were in the circus I would have to be either the fat lady or a clown - naturally clumsy so would not have to fake falling down anyway. Hope to see you there - we had tickets to the Friday 10:30 AM showing but it was cancelled.

bev chambers

If I were to be so fortunate as to be able to join the circus, I would be a bareback rider, riding a beautiful white horse with flowing mane! I would perform acrobatic tricks, iincluding jumping through hoops of fire, and make a great attempt to be a crowd-pleaser, especially for the 12-and-under crowd!

Melissa Asher

If my family and I were in the circus we would be the trick horse riders!!!!!!!! We love horses and have several now.............(we keep our butts planted though, or try to anyway!!!!)

Randy

My little girl wants to work with monkeys in the circus. She is always hanging on things saying she is a monkey at the circus.

Dillon

I want to train a tiger to walk the high wire and then i will stand on his back and jugle the bowling oin things!!!! That would be awsome!!

Tiffany Robinson

I would be one of the girls dressed up riding on the horses or elephants doing different tricks and stunts. and the rest of my family woul be mixed up, being on a motorcycle, a clown, and we would be several diffent things and would multi-task.

Chelsea

Gavin wants to tame the lions & the rest of the family(mom, dad, & Gabby) wish we could have a job like Israel Gonzalez, the tightrope walker of the Vasquez Hermanos Circus!!!

Candace

I'd love to work with the monkeys! That would be one of the neatest things!

Rocky

If I joined I would bring my two kids as " wild animals". I, of course would try to get them to obey my commands( they don't at home so maybe they would there) and do as I show them. One is 10 and the other is 2. One bothers the other one because he doesn't know better and the other just bothers for the sake of bothering. That being said, after about an hour under the big tent I would don the face of the " Sad Clown". Being both physically and mentally drained.

Bridget Smith

If I were in the circus I would ride the elephants because they are amazing!

bgsmit3@uky.edu

Larry

Kylee

I would be with the tigers using my rope (age 4)

I would definitely ride on an elephant
That is something I always thought would be so much fun and maybe let him/her pick me up by his/her trunk

Trina

I have loved elephants all my life. For that reason, if I were to join the circus, I would have to perform with the elephants.

jennifer johnson

I would love to do the flying trapeze. You always make it look so graceful and easy floating through the air.

Tessa Sallee

If i joined the circus i would definately love to do something with the animals, either the lions or elephants. i've always thought that the bond between an animal and its trainer was fascinating. that, and ive only been to the circus once, and when we went my dad wouldnt let me walk down and see the elephants before the show, so i've always wanted to be touch one and to see them up close ever since, and i mean a lion is just totally cool automatically!
