Glenn County Fair

In little Orland, Ca located about 15 minutes west of Chico the county fairgrounds can be found. This is where we can be found for the next 4 days. In fact, we have already started performing doing a special morning show for the school kids. These kind of shows are generally shorter than our standard show so just Jim, and the two tiny princess' and I performed...oh yes, and Buttercup the Python.
Before the 2o minute show we strolled around with Buttercup giving kids a chance to see and pet him however, we are rethinking the petting thing because one 8 or 9 year old girl grabbed his head and gave it a bit of a squeeze....I wasn't worried that the snake would bite her....Buttercup's defense is to roll up in a ball and pretend there is no threat (kinda like Democrats) not bite and make enemies think twice about trying that again (Like Republicans....not like the modern conservative-lite brand of Rs but more like the Ronald Reagan kick 'em in the butt but don't wake me if it ain't our guys shot down type of Rs). Buttercup wasn't hurt but since the potential is there we will keep little ones away...by telling them all it's a rattler. Gonna have to tie a baby rattle to it's tail (some of you know that's just what I would do too). The morning AM show went awesome with Princess O making Buttercup appear from fire and Princess A reading minds and Jugglin' Jim doing a fantastic juggling set. I ate fire and hosted. Leaning heavy on the kids routines this fair due to a recovering back spasm.
Lots of great acts at the fair: Dennis the Big "Ordinary-Bike" balloon twister, The puppet truck guy, the Swan Brothers and us.
Come and see us at the fair....
