The greatest show on earth arrived at the Greensboro Coliseum last week complete with acrobats, elephants and rings of fire. The Ringling Brothers and Barnum and Bailey Zing Zang Zoom Circus is currently touring the country, visiting 10 states along the East Coast. The show followed Alex the ringmaster and his assistant Levitisha in their quest to defy Mr. Gravity the mischievous clown. The attractions included fantastic acrobatics, magic and plenty of clowns. Spectators could also meet the animals and participate in the clown college before the show.
