- The Mighty Bo, who promoters say is the largest performing elephant in the world. Bo will perform a routine from the more than 60 tricks he has learned. The circus will also feature other elephants.
- Vicenta Pages and the White Tigers. Each animal came under Pages' tutelage as a 14- or 15-month-old cub. She has worked with them daily since then. Their numerous tricks include rolling over and lying down, jumping hurdles and giving high fives.

- The Marinof Duo. From the Bucharest State Circus in Romania, the Marinofs perform acrobatic feats high above the circus ring, daring yet graceful as a ballet, promoters said.
- The Georgettes Magic Extravaganza. With dancing, rope work and synchronized routines, the Georgettes bring circus dreams to life while dangling from a rope high above the ring.

For the first time, this year's circus will feature Shrine Hospital Nights at 6:30 p.m. March 14-17. Tickets ($6, with $1 going to Shriners Children's Hospitals) are available at Fast and Friendly stores.
