I will be at the King Arthur Flour Fall Festival in Norwich on Saturday 16 September from 1:30 to 3:30pm. I hope to see you there!

I have updated my schedule page for the events where I’ll be this summer. Check out my schedule…

And what a great crowd at the Peacham Acoustic Music Festival (PAMfest). Despite clouds early in the morning, the weather cleared up and it was warm and sunny.

Loads of people stopped by to play and learn to juggle. I learned a new devil stick trick from one person, and showed lots of people how to juggle. And the rubber chickens remain a hit…

The Juggler Man will be at The Prouty this Saturday, 11 July from 10am to 1pm. Support cancer research, and learn to juggle!

The Juggler Man will be at the Lyme Common today at 3:00pm. Come out to juggle (or learn to!), and then stay around and show off your new-found skills in the parade at 4:30pm!

As always, the Circus Club continues to meet at the Marion Cross School in Norwich. They meet Monday nights at 6:30-8:00pm, whenever there’s school.

I’ve been getting there every week – hope to see you too!

On Sunday, 22 January, The Juggler Man will be back at the Howel Open mini-golf at the Howe Library.

Want to learn to juggle? C’mon by the library between 11:00am and 3:00pm. I’ll show how to juggle balls, spin lassos and plates, and lots of other fun tricks.

Let’s have fun throwing things in the library!

I’m bringing my box of props to two venues tomorrow, Saturday, 6 September:

• Baker’s Harvest Festival at King Arthur Flour in Norwich, VT. I’ll be there from 2-3pm.

• Revels North’s Haddon Hall Festival, at the Dartmouth Outing Club House in Hanover. I’ll be juggling there from 6:00-6:30pm. After that, I’ll join the chorus to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Revels North.

Both events are free.

The Revels North is a fundraiser – be sure to stick around for the Medieval Feast and Silent and Live Auctions through the evening (’til 9:00pm).

You can even bid on a juggling lesson!
