Elephants Invade Streets of Downtown Manchester

Ringling Bros. train pulls into New Hampshire and dozens of animals parade through Queen City.

Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey, proclaimed worldwide as the Greatest Show on Earth, has arrived in the Granite State for its annual appearance in Manchester.

This year's theme is DRAGONS, yet it was another type of giant beast that was on display Wednesday morning, as the Ringling Bros. train pulled into the Queen City.

Five of the show's talented elephants stepped off the train and made their way, trunk-to-tail, up Elm Street toward the Verizon Wireless Arena where they'll perform – along with many of their wild counterparts, including lions, tigers and horses – during seven shows scheduled from Oct. 3-6.
