Why Are There Elephants Rolling Around Downtown Billings?

Yesterday I left work and begin my very short walk back to my apartment when I happened to run into some unexpected guests occupying what I like to think of as my "Front Yard". I live in an apartment right above the wonderful Bin 119, you really got to go on Sunday for their Brunch!

Imagine my surprise to turn the corner and run directly into a pair of giant but lovable Elephants! As it just so happens the wonderful people of the Shriner Circus were putting on one hell of a petting zoo for the Billings community.

The Shriner's Circus had two elephants on hand, a snake handler, and cadre of miniature horses entertaining the crowd. Needless to say the biggest draw was everyone's chance to ride high atop one of the elephants in Downtown Billings! That can't NOT make for a good story, am I right?
