July 15, 2010 MANVILLE — Jugglers, aerialists, acrobats, animals and clowns are headed to Main Street.About 150 members of the Big Apple Circus will be taking their show, "Dance On," to the Rustic Mall off South Main Street twice a day, five days a week from Thursday, Sept. 23 to Monday, Oct. 11. The tour's 33rd season will make its debut here.
The circus Wednesday evening gained unanimous approval from the borough's Zoning Board of Adjustment for temporary use on private property. The Borough Council previously had granted approval."It's very exciting," Scott O'Donnell, vice president and general manager of the Big Apple Circus, said following the meeting. "We're very happy to be back in Somerset County."The circus had been presented with a challenge when it decided to move its usual springtime event for more than 10 years at TD Bank Ballpark in Bridgewater to the fall. The fall timeframe conflicted with the Somerset Patriots minor league baseball team's playing schedule, borough Administrator Gary Garwacke said.read more at:http://www.mycentraljersey.com/article/20100715/NEWS/100715051/Big-Apple-Circus-gains-approval-from-zoning-board-coming-to-Manville
