Windy cold and windy. We are in the high desert and it was cold and windy all day. In spite of the weather my aunt and uncle came out to see us. So far we have seen just about everyone in their family (Jay, Patricia, Marvin, Emris, Taulin, Lucky and Larry, Kris, the kids) this year and none of my own family outside my parents. Oh, well. Everyone is busy these days. Maybe Thanksgiving, right?
We did four shows today and filled the chairs in every one. Still the park wasn't as busy as last year in my opinion. Most everyone had to wear jackets today because of how cold it was. Since it's a costume event that killed the whole theme since a skeleton in a parka is odd. 
In between shows the kids played on the hillside. One of the perks of Calico. They have been working on that wall all weekend.
Great thing is the wall and hill don't need batteries and the technology is old. But they have a blast. 
See! he's having a ton of fun...a ton of rocks worth of fun. 
A quick snap shot of the stage layout. It's tiny but we squeeze a lot in.
As you might know we have been performing here for 15 years. During that time we have built up quite a fan base. In EVERY show there are at least 10 people who have come to our show multiple times. One group of dads and daughters (six girls) have been planning there trip here for three months and all the girls have been saving and looking forward to getting their "Calico Kitties" . (A Calico Kitty is the skunk puppet-toy we have been selling for years.) Others have a collection of the wands we have been selling all these years. They have one from every year. We've become a tradition. It is a ton of fun for us too.
Calico is cool!
