ALBANY — The Garden Brothers’ Circus has been entertaining audiences for the past 100 years. For one day only, the circus came to Albany for two shows, complete with motorcycle stunt drivers, acrobats, jugglers, contortionists, clowns and a wide assortment of family-friendly features, including elephants. This year, the crowd cheered as two elephants graced the center ring. After leaving Albany on Thursday, the circus was headed to Savannah and then home to South Florida for a winter break.
