Trapeze!!!!!!!!

So I have fallen in love with the trapeze. Just thought you guys should know. And guess what? I am kinda good at it!

Circus Fusion

 So I recently went to see a show in Greenville SC called Circus Fusion. This is a brand new show so I had no idea what to expect. When I first walked up to the lot it looked like any other circus. It had a brand new beautiful blue and yellow tent. On one side of the tent there were pony rides and on the other elephant rides. I met up with Justin Loomis a friend of mine when I got there.Justin is the owner of the Loomis Bros Circus. When he isn't touring with his own show he runs concessions for other shows. Being the nice guy that he is he upgraded me to a ring side seat!

 After I chatted with him for a few minutes I went inside to find my seat. When I entered the tent I felt like I was going into a rave. It was very dark with all kinds of different special effect lighting and fog everywhere. Justin helped me find my seat. The show started. The opener was very high energy. There were jugglers on both sides and showgirls. The first act of the show was a Russian swing act. It was a very fun act with lots of energy. In between acts there was a clown. He was funny....except for when he got my camera wet. There were lots of other acts. Each one was amazing and very unique. Lots of stuff I had never seen before.

  My favorite act of the night was the elephant act. It was a single elephant. The trainer was Patty Zerbini. This was the most beautiful elephant act I have ever seen in my entire life. The elephant enters the ring alone. Ms. Zerbini stands at the back of the ring. She just calls commands to the elephant. She never once enters the ring. The elephant does everything on her own. No hook. It was fantastic.
Circus Fusion was great! If you get the chance defiantly go check it out.
