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!

Wren and I traveled with the New Old Time Chautauqua again, the place we met 7 years ago. We have taken the last 2 years off, but decided to go for just a week for this tour that went to State parks in Washington and Idaho. Here is the bulk of us, after our show at the Westgate Prison.

With the Nez Perce Tribe.

Our final day and show that we were with Chautauqua, was in Dayton Ohio.

We performed the rope act, along with the pig act (and Michelle captured this sweet move that I don't even remember doing!).

After the show, this sweet gal, Zella, and I met and shared some good juggle club time together.

After we returned home, there was the most flattering piece of "fan mail" to Chautauqua, highlighting the pig act... What a compliment!

"Your evening entertainment in Dayton was excellent. The pig dance with the fans was the funniest thing I've ever seen - and I'm 73. I laughed until I cried - had tears running down my face. Thank You! Barbara Carlton"

Royal Family Kids Camp

This is the second year I've been part of this camp. It's super fun to see kids being cared for and supported in this way. This year Wren couldn't make it so Chipp filled in. What a guy.

Bellingham Fete

Wren, Chipp, Esther, and I were the entertainment for this event, which was a benefit for Sustainable Connections and had nearly 5,000 attendees!

Lightcatcher Family Activity Day

Wren and I teaching and performing for kids and adults at the Whatcom Museum!

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!

Urban Music Festival 2016

Tonight Wren and I performed in a late-night slot as part of the Urban Music Festival.

It was at the first time Wren had performed in or been at the Wild Buffalo! So exciting! It was a bit like going home to me, as it felt much like a visit back to the Gallus Gal days with Sarah Marie Roche McDonald. Last night, Mary hooped and MC'd, Dream and PJ both did aerial, Wren and I performed our juggling act, and I did the Pig act. It was a sweet little show with a fun and professional cast... totally professional, just check out these photos!
