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 They ve been replaced by more than 200 exotic animals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

SMILING DOLL HEADS. Mismatched buttons. Thimbles and beads, barnacles and bottle caps. If you crossed a junk drawer with an art museum, the result might be the Office of Collecting and Design.
Don’t be fooled by the official-sounding name. Tucked in a quiet corner of Commercial Center, the Office of Collecting and Design is the project of Jessica Oreck, an artist, filmmaker, and animator and an avid, globe-trotting collector of unusual odds and ends. The OCD (the acronym is coincidental, Oreck says) is a lot of things: a clubhouse, a place to unplug, a gallery, a nostalgia generator, a reading room, a prop house, and a studio. Basically, imagine an antique shop where you can play and where touching the merchandise is highly encouraged.
