Ladies and gentlemen and children of all ages, it’s time to break out the peanuts and welcome the Ringling Bros. and Barnum and Bailey Circus back to the West Palm Beach Auditorium.
The circus, which has been performed at the auditorium since 1968, took a hiatus in 1990 when contract negotiations could not be concluded.
But through continued negotiations, and with financial disagreements behind them, officials from the stadium and circus have signed a five-year contract.
“The Greatest Show on Earth,” will be performed Jan. 8 through Jan. 13, 1991.
For information, call 683-6010.
