The Greatest Show on Earth is right here in Lubbock, but for two days only! Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey's Circus is in town Tuesday and Wednesday. Early Tuesday we got the chance to get a behind the scenes look at the show. So much hard work and preparation goes into making every detail just right to entertain your family. Animal acts include tigers, elephants, even some dachsunds! Now, before the show, the kids had the chance to come onto the floor, try on costumes, hula hoop, even see if maybe trapeze was their calling. All of it just a preview, of course, of whats to come in the show.

Tuesday night was extra special because it's the 400th show for the crew, but they say whether it's show number 1, or 400, it never gets old.
