LIONS, TIGERS AND BEARS. Never mind that Barnum & Bailey
abandoned the Old Pueblo after whining about Tucson Convention
Center fees. They ve been replaced by more than 200 exotic animals
and performers, and a tent bigger than Don Diamond s bankroll,
as the Carson & Barnes Five-Ring Circus rolls into town. Billed as the world s biggest big top, this extravaganza
features everything you d expect, from growling tigers and roaring
pachyderms to bittersweet clowns and cigar-chomping carnies. The
action begins today with a free 6:30 a.m. tent raising at Rillito
Park, 4502 N. First Ave. Regular performances are 4:30 and 7:30
