Happy Little Farm 2019!

WooHoo! This event is the Circus Guild's FAVORITE event of the year! Happy Little Farm owners, Casey and Shelley, host this delightful potluck they call "The Giver by the River" that includes square dancing, music, great food and drinks, kids everywhere, and circus. Here's what the circus portion of this great event looked like this year.
Acro Cats, Chipp and Sadye!

Dream Frohe on the lyra.

Former guild member Ariel.

Daniel wooing the kids with his bubbles and contact ball.

Some of the many happy kids enjoying the circus antics.

The Bunion Sisters, Sadye and Heidi.

Our wonderful hosts, Casey and Shelly (with son Willoughby).

Wren and I performing our "Turn Around" juggling act as Cupids.

Justin Credible performing his hat, cane, feather, and suitcase act.

Keelia! Performing at the Giver for the first time!

Sadye and I as the hot dogs, doing our onion juggling act.

Chipp performing his almost-annual, back by popular demand, Banana of Delight. Introduced appropriately as, "Once you've seen the banana of delight, you cannot un-see it". This year, Shelley was the brave banana lighter.

This photo captures the effect of Chipp's intro for me perfectly.

The cast, including Shelley!

We can't wait for next year!

Mom and Dad's 44th Anniversary

This year mom and dad decided to celebrate their 44th Anniversary by staying at the Lummi (Dad's an official "card-holder" now) casino hotel, and coming to Vaudevillingham.

Sadye and I sang her hot dog song, with a few added lines to help celebrate their 44 year anniversary.

This was their reaction, captured by the talented Thaddeus Hink.

Priceless. I love these two!

Happy Little Farm

We love the Happy Little Farm (this is Casey and Shelly who have this sweet annual event, aka The Giver by the River)!

 This was our 5th-ish year (I say 'ish' because I missed performing in 2014 because of my torn calf muscle) performing for this sweet family-farm celebration.
The lineup went like this:
Chipps - Intro
Esther - Slackline
Della n Wren - Hat

Heidi - Aerial
Chipps n Sadye - Acro
Wren - One Trick Pony
Justin - Mime/Sword
Dream - Aerial
Della n Sadye - Tap

Chipps - Lasso
Strangely - Song
PJ - Aerial
Della - Pig

It was a wonderful show as usual, and many said the best so far! Go circus!

Vaudevillingham with Sayde

 Sadye MC'd Vaudevillingham this month as a pizza slice. I stopped by the Quarry before hand to see if she needed any help getting ready for it, and we decided to do some vignettes in the show together so whipped together this fork costume! It was so fun, I sure love working with Sadye!

And then of course there's a fork in the road...

Here's a snippet from some of her other Vaudevillingham acts.

This is her trapeze act she is doing to try to win Abraham Lincoln's love, after feeding him a sandwich.

Here she performed free-style rapping with back-up dancers.

Here she put on pants with no hands to dramatic exciting music.

Success!

This gal is solid gold. Full comedy, full kindness, full out fun. I'm a full-on fan!
