The FedExForum is full of lions and elephants as the Ringling Bros. and Barnum &amp; Bailey Circus makes a stop for the weekend. There will be five shows &#8211; 7 PM Thursday, 7 PM Friday, 1 PM and 5 PM Saturday, and 2 PM Sunday. It&#8217;s the circus&#8217; Illuscination (Gold) tour, which you can read more about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ringling.com\/TopLanding.aspx?id=35906&amp;parentID=0&amp;assetFolderID=0\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You can buy tickets on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ringling.com\/\">their website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A bonus tip if you attend the Friday, December 10 show: Stop by the Doubletree Hotel at Third and Union beforehand for Cookies and Milk with Santa. He&#8217;ll be there from 3 to 7 to benefit Porter-Leath. Santa will have candy canes and chocolate chip cookies, and for a $5 suggested donation to Porter-Leath, you can have your child&#8217;s photo taken with Santa.<\/p>\n<p>Where to eat before or after the show? Three of the family-friendliest restaurants Downtown are nearby on Second. Kooky Canuck has huge ice cream sundaes, skillet cookies, and s&#8217;mores you make at the table. Flying Fish has all kinds of fun photos and fish on the wall, and is a neat place to take kids. Then, of course, there&#8217;s Huey&#8217;s, with great burgers and toothpicks to blow at the ceiling. Can&#8217;t go wrong with any of these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weekend is a family-friendly one Downtown, because the circus is coming!
