Silver Dollar Fair- Swine Flu? Retirement! Old Friends!

Day 3 for us at the Fair....
It was a breezy and cool day and with it came me waking with a cold, or is it swine flu? Which ever I took a massive Vit.C Dosage and some other vitamins and went to the fair. Grant it when I got there I slept until showtime (below).


We had a ligher schedule because the plaza where our stage is located was used for the fair manager's retirment party. He and I are pictured below. A vendor from the islands gae him a cap that matches the vendor's own hair....proof we are in Chico, CA.

Buttercup finished up his shedding and so was able to join us today. The gasps from the audience was awesome. They even became popular at the retiement party. Below Princess Olivia shares her snake with a party goer and tells them all about it.


The young lady in the picture below (Cat) is sporting a necklae I "magically" made for her over 10 years ago when I performed at her birthday party when she was 9. She hasn't seen us in all that time but heard we were at the fair and came to see us....she wore the necklace to show me.

Once again packed crowds at our shows. We filled the house everytime. And they were enthusiastic. The hard part of the day is the long wait between shows (one at 1pm and one at 8pm) Jim had two juggling shows int here too. But the party mentioned above took performing time out. Just like any kind of work slow time is LOOOOONG time.

We passed the time by hanging at the party and eating cake, Playing board or card games, strolling, chatting up other performers, or resting. Jim's girlfriend came to the fair and we spent time with her as well.
The new roady, Nick, is working out really well. He is interning now but will join on for the summer tour as a paid employee.
