MERIDEN - Billed as "the world's largest circus under the big top," Cole Bros. Circus of the Stars rolled into town this morning and proceeded to set up for the first of four shows on the city-owned Hub site today and tomorrow.
More than 25 trucks and 100 workers arrived early this morning - not to mention the elephants, tigers and camels - and the shows will be performed under a 25,000-square foot circus tent that takes about five hours and 50 people to setup.
There will be two two-hour shows today and tomorrow, at 4:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., with tickets costing $17 for adults and $12 for children ages two to 12.
"I just wanted to see the elephants," said Sharon Knight, a Meriden resident who lives across the street from the Hub and was on hand Wednesday morning watching the workers setup. "I've never been to the circus before."
