Circus T o Honor Philly Hero As Ringmaster

Joe Lozito, the Northeast Philadelphia man being hailed as a “hero” for his valiant actions against the New York City subway stabber this past week, will join the ranks as “Ringmaster” at Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents “Fully Charged” at Wells Fargo Center.
Lozito commutes everyday to New York City for his job. Brian Crawford Scott, the Ringmaster for “Fully Charged,” is a New York City resident and will personally introduce and welcome Lozito back home to Philadelphia.
After Lozito’s debut as Ringmaster, Lozito, his wife and two sons will enjoy the 3 p.m. show of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents “Fully Charged” as guests of Comcast-Spectacor.
“Fully Charged” is the all-new Ringling Bros.® show featuring the "Human Fuse" who sets himself on fire and soars across the arena sky. In addition, The Greatest Show On Earth® also features Dmitry and Ruslan, the Ukrainian Strong Men pair, whose incredible feats of strength and endurance include lifting and balancing each other’s 300-plus pound frames. Their 7,500 calorie diet makes them as wide as they are tall, creating a true circus oddity.
Tickets starting at $10 for Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey® presents “Fully Charged” at Wells Fargo Center through Sunday, February 20 are available exclusively through ComcastTIX online at ComcastTIX.com, by phone at 1-800-298-4200, or in person at Wells Fargo Center box office.

The Elephants Have Taken Over Philly!

Yes, you got that right.
The elephants have taken over Philly.
But no, Philly isn't suddenly about to turn red. Indeed, the rusty old Democrat stronghold sadly remains a union-dominated blue, blue neighborhood.
But here's the sunny side of the story: The elephants really have arrived in Philly.
The circus has come to town!
And this morning the elephants marched from their railroad cars through the streets of South Philly and into the Wells Fargo Center. Ringling Brothers Barnum & Bailey Circus, the Greatest Show on Earth, opens tomorrow night and runs through Sunday.
Hurry -- make sure you're there for this beloved harbinger of spring.
