The owners of Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey Circus announced Saturday that they will close the 146-year-old show in May. Ringling Bros. has two touring circuses this season: "Circus Extreme" and "Out of This World." The Feld family has owned the circus for 49 years, and employs some 500 people for the show. The Feld family hasn't decided what it will do with the enormous warehouse filled with circus costumes and props. That museum holds memorabilia dating to the 1800s, when John Ringling and his family founded Ringling Bros and Barnum and Bailey Circus.
