This giveaway is now over. Dawn is the winner. Congrats!

I recently posted about our awesome trip to Disney On Ice.  I now have another great event that we are going to and I’d love to have a local blogger (or non blogger for that matter) join us!  My kids have never been to the circus, so we are so excited that we get to go this year!  After seeing their reaction to Disney On Ice, I know that they are going to love it.  They love animals — I’m just worried about how many souvenirs we’ll end up walking out with! 

Now, I have 4 tickets for one family to attend the Ringling Brothers Circus here in Chicago.  The winner will have the option of choosing to attend one of the following opening-night shows:

November 5th @ 7pm in Rosement at the All-State Arena
November 18th @ 7pm in Chicago at the United Center

Exciting, right?  Here’s what you need to do:
