It was a nice autumn day for outdoor adventures, including adventures at town festivals, parks and museums, but those venturing to Circus World Museum in Baraboo, Wisconsin, will not be able to have an elephant ride or see Kelly and Viola performance under the big top tent today. The two elephants retired in August, 135 years after first elephant, Babylon and Fannie, came to Baraboo in 1888 as part of Ringling Bros Circus. Kelly and Viola will spend the remainder of their lives at Oklahoma’s Endangered Ark Foundation.
