A frundraiser and track

Thursday night (3/19) we performed our second fundraiser for March (we do a lot of these in the spring for some reason). This one was near and dear because it as for the local public school that Princess Amelia attends. We took our stage, back drops and sound system and turned their cafeteria into a theater. the place sold out. And to our amazement the kids were extremely well behaved (audience kids, that is). Everyone was appreciative of the show and the response were awesome. The local news for northern California came and covered the show with a pre-show interview and footage from the show. we ended up being the 4th story on that night's news. The video will be posted here later tonight and can be currently seen on our Facebook page.



Track- The Kent Family are big track fans. Princess Cynthia went to State finals last year in the 100 hurdles and hopes to go back this year....but there is a whole season to get through first. She missed the first pre-season meet recovering from a cold and only participated in a single event today at the first invitational of the season. She ran the 4X100 relay (3rd leg) and as is the custom of her team....won. Out of about 20 schools from all around the North State and Reno they took home the gold...or a t-shirt in this case.
Our contribution to the distance runners is Indiana Miles. This was his second meet and first one that counted. He place 2nd in the 1 mile and first in the 2 mile this past Tuesday at the pre-season meet. Today, facing a whole bunch of schools and nearly 50 runners in the 1-mile race he finished 21st...the nerves took their toll. He got it together and end up medalling in the 2-mile knocking a whole minute off his best time to get 5th place. He was happy with that.

With the Kents not only do you get the entertainment news you also get sports.

Jugglin' Jim took advantage of an opportunity to teach local kids juggling today with a local afterschool program. He will also perform several one man shows in the up coming months.
