When the circus comes to Trenton, it'll be a homecoming of sort for two performers with Garden State roots — Hunterdon County's Billy Murray and Barnegat's Anthony Lombardo are members of Ringling Bros. & Barnum and Bailey Circus.
The former is a clown and the latter, a saxophonist in the circus band.
"It's an unbelievable opportunity," Lombardo said. "I jumped at the chance. When I got the call, I was working four or five part-time jobs. I was working at Express at Ocean County Mall. I was beyond thrilled. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
Lombardo plans to stay with the circus for about five years.
