Town Fair Tire World of Wheels

Last weekend we were able to attend Town Fair Tire World of Wheels in Boston at the Seaport World Trade Center.  They are celebrating their 44th year!  The show floor was packed with so many muscle cars, trucks, restored cars and motorcycles.  Plus there were special meet and greets each day.
 Evan loves checking out cars.  Whenever we pass an auto show or classic cars somewhere he always makes us stop to look.  This was the perfect event for us to go to so we could take our time and check out all the cars.  We spent about two hours there looking around.  It is a great place to go with the family.  They had a snack bar too if you wanted to get food.  There was also convenient parking right across the street for $22 for the whole day.
 Love this car.  Plus the cool lighting.
They also had the cars of the Fast and Furious on display which was really cool.
 I love the color of this car, such a beauty.
 I love the displays.
I love the multi color cameleon paint job on this car!
 This truck looks so cool.
 Another pretty blue.
Of course Town Fair Tire had lots of wheels there to check out.
 The cars were gorgeous.
 There was this cute little Ghostbusters peddle car.
 This motorcycle was super cool.
If you missed the show this year make sure the check it out next year.

BigTop Works, the new producers of BIG APPLE CIRCUS, are pleased to announce the return of the beloved circus to Boston, as part of the National Tour stops of the historic and critically acclaimed 40th Anniversary Season.

World renowned for its one-ring, intimate and artistic style, where no seat is more than 50 feet from the performers, Big Apple Circus is passionate about revitalizing the circus for modern-day audiences with unique and astounding human feats, and innovative design and technology. The 40th anniversary season program features the famous seven-person pyramid on the high wire with Nik Wallenda and The Fabulous Wallendas and the daring quadruple somersault attempted on the trapeze by The Flying Tunizianis – the first time in circus history that both legendary feats are performed under the same big top. The record-setting acts are joined by Dandino and Luciana, a dynamic duo who combine speed, acrobatics and daredevil grace on rollerskates; award-winning contortionist Elayne Kramer; master juggler Gamal Garcia; Jan Damm on the Rola Bola; acclaimed Risley acrobats The Anastasini Brothers (who broke the World Record for Most Flips on November 9, 2017); Ringmaster Ty McFarlan; and circus trainer and presenter Jenny Vidbel, who performs in the ring with 16 horses and ponies, as well as six rescue dogs. 
Outside of the ring, Big Apple Circus continues to honor the essential and iconic characteristics that have set it apart for the past four decades, with multiple community outreach programs and a vital no-wild-animals policy. Circus of the Senses, which will take place on Wednesday, April 11 at 11:00 am, offers specially enhanced experiences for audiences who are deaf, blind, deaf/blind, visually impaired, or have cognitive or developmental challenges. The special performances include ASL interpretation, live audio description, pre- and post-show touch experiences, and a Braille program book. On Sunday, April 8 at 12:00 pm, Big Apple Circus Embraces Autism, a sensory-friendly performance for autistic audience members, will feature lowered light and sound levels, a descriptive social story, and a professionally staffed “calming center” that can be accessed at any point during the show. 
 The Big Apple Circus 40th Anniversary season is directed by Mark Lonergan, artistic director of three-time Drama Desk Award-nominated physical theater company Parallel Exit, with choreography and associate direction by Antoinette DiPietropolo and music direction by Rob Slowik. Tony Award-winning lighting designer Jeff Croiter (Peter and the Starcatcher, Something Rotten!), scenic designers Rob Bissinger (Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, Legally Blonde – Assoc) and Anita LaScala (Magic Mike Live) of ARDA Studio, Inc., and Drama Desk-nominated costume designer Amy Clark (Heathers: The Musical, Chaplin) come together to create a most vibrant environment to fit the momentous occasion of the circus’s return.

The Magic of Adam Trent in Boston, MA

I love MAGIC! I had always watched David Copperfield and went to see his live show so I was excited to see a new magician come to Boston for a show. Adam Trent was at the Boch Center Shubert Theatre and the show was awesome! 
I love the interactive approach to his show with audience participation. He really was entertaining not only with magic, but with music and comedy. There was even a robot! I feel like his show would appeal to a younger demographic in addition to adults. I don't want to give away an of his tricks but many were amazing and I especially liked his close up magic! He did one trick with the whole audience involved that blew my mind!
He has already left Boston, but you can go here to see his remaining tour dates:  https://www.adamtrent.com/tickets
More about the show:
Broadway/TV star Adam Trent is bringing his signature brand of magic and illusion to a high-tech stage spectacle. Produced by the creative team behind The Illusionists, the world’s best-selling touring magic show, THE MAGIC OF ADAM TRENT is an immersive entertainment extravaganza of magic, comedy and music designed to entertain the entire family. Showcasing his “futuristic” brand of magic, Trent has mesmerized live audiences around the globe, in person and as a featured guest on America’s Got Talent, The Today Show, Ellen, Rachael Ray Show and Disney Channel among countless other TV appearances. The 32-year-old also stars in his own 10-episode TV series The Road Trick on Red Bull TV. His tour includes more than 60 cities. 
Trent inaugurated the first two years of THE ILLUSIONISTS’ record breaking Broadway runs, which served as a launching pad for his own live show and tour. “I am so excited to hit the road and bring an entirely new show to audiences around the world,” says Trent, who has always thought that magic should be entertaining first and tricky second. He doesn’t want people to remember “tricks” as much as the laughs and memories made with the performance. “This will be a show like you’ve never seen.” THE MAGIC OF ADAM TRENT is produced by MagicSpace Entertainment and The Works Entertainment.
Here is a little video:
If you get the chance make sure to go and see him!
