A major change starts this year, in the 90th edition of the Hadi Shrine Circus.
Event chairman Dale Thomas says after much discussion, the decision was made to retire the Shrine Circus Elephants.
Thomas says circus leaders are passionate about the popular pachyderms but as they age it is becoming more difficult to transport and care for them.
The Hadi Shrine Circus opens an eight-show run on Thanksgiving Day at the Ford Center.
