			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Last night we scrambled after work to get down to th Q for the opening night of Ringling Brothers &amp; Barnum and Bailey’s “Zing Zang Zoom”.  <a href="http://www.momcentral.com/" target="_blank">MomCentral </a>and Feld Entertainment had a little event set up for local bloggers before the show and we got to meet some of the clown cast.  M loved them from afar but refused to get close enough for a photo.  So we had to settle for one of her with a cardboard elephant.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-814  aligncenter" title="cutout" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/cutout.JPG" alt="cutout" width="270" height="405" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">After watching the clowns she agreed to at least put on the clown nose:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-809            aligncenter" title="ClownNose" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ClownNose.JPG" alt="ClownNose" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">We went down to the arena floor to enjoy the All-Access Preshow where you can get up close and personal with the performers; and maybe even get to be a part of the act, like <a href="http://www.classychaos.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=395:circus&amp;catid=1:latest&amp;Itemid=20" target="_blank">Pauline&#8217;s Lola</a>.  M loved trying on the costumes, watching Larry the Clown juggling and the Qi Qi Har Acrobatic Troupe&#8217;s foot juggling.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-810  aligncenter" title="Costume" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Costume.JPG" alt="Costume" width="300" height="200" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-813  aligncenter" title="Juggle" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Juggle.JPG" alt="Juggle" width="300" height="200" /><br />
<img class="size-full wp-image-808      aligncenter" title="ChinesePerformer" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ChinesePerformer.JPG" alt="ChinesePerformer" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: left;">As we made our way back up to our seats M was so excited for the show.  When the opening act came out and the elephants went on parade, to say she was on the edge of her seat would be an understatement.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="size-full wp-image-812  aligncenter" title="Elephants" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/Elephants.JPG" alt="Elephants" width="300" height="200" /><br />
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-811" title="EdgeofSeat" src="http://www.kakakakaty.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/EdgeofSeat.JPG" alt="EdgeofSeat" width="200" height="300" /></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">She danced in her seat, laughed full belly laughs and clapped wildly.  We had a fantastic night and the whole ride home she talked about all the clowns and animals.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;">Zing Zang Zoom is in Cleveland through Monday night &#8211; don&#8217;t miss this chance to have a great family night out.  And thanks to Mom Central you can purchase a 4-pack of tickets for weekday shows for only $44, or receive $4 off any weekend ticket by logging onto <a href="http://www.ticketmaster.com/" target="_blank">TicketMaster</a> and entering the coupon code: MOM.*</p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;"><em><span style="color: #999999;">*Get 4 tickets for just $44 for weekday shows, or $4 off weekend tickets by entering the code “MOM” at select ticketing channels. Minimum purchase of 4 tickets required; additional weekday tickets above 4 can be purchased at $11 each. Not valid on VIP Gold, VIP, and Circus Celebrity seats or combinable with other offers. Other handling fees and service charges may apply.</span></em></span></p>
<p><span style="color: #c0c0c0;">I was given 3 free tickets to the opening night show by MomCentral and was invited to a “meet and greet” prior to the show.</span></p>
