First....Where is Alf?
We left Rockland, ME this morning at 5:30 to go pick up the show at the fairgrounds in Union by 6AM. It was tough since we stayed up late. We had spent time after both families packed up yesterday to chat and pray with the Wallendas. So I was very very sleepy on this drive. We were loaded and set by 6:30 and off to Danbury CT. The drive was fairly uneventful. There was great weather and beautiful things to look at. New England is lovely.

My "Check engine" light came on on the RV again (remember the start of the trip. Usually means bad gas or a temporary error sent to the trucks computer. Have to go through 4 days of engine cycles to see if it clears. No engine power loss. Though it has always had an occasional cold engine idle problem. I just haven't had the time to get under the hood and clean the part of the carburetor probably responsible.
We arrived at the private gated community in Danbury 2 hours before showtime and quickly got set up.
This picture shows the basic set up before too many folks showed up. I was surprised how many people came out.



Victor always has time to ham it up.

Miles needs a haircut. Hippy!


Princess Sayako getting ready to go on. She had a wardrobe malfunction and nearly appeared toppless but iwas able to keep that from happening. Oh, Well. It was funny. Cynthia will understand what I mean...we will need to get her a performer's bra.








My cousins from Waterbury brought us dinner tonight....spaghetti and meatballs and Italian sausages. Here is The great Philosopher The Doctor, Taulin with Emeris in the background.




Jim goofs off as Emeris posses and the res of us appear normal....just appear.






Uncle Eddie did some strolling close-up magic. Lots of fun.








Jim teaches the Diabolo.








Titus likes Alf.
Please pray that the RV carb troubles don't worsen and that we make it until at least Sept 7...our first day off. I will either put it in the shop or tear it apart myself then. But it has nearly 2000 miles to work before I can do that.

Tomorrow we start a nearly 800 mile drive to NC to perform at the church of Jim and CC's former Kindergarten teacher. We ae all exhausted.
