The 2005 Nomadic Juggling Festival Was A Great Success!
The 2005 Nomadic Juggling Festival was a great success. We had about 130 attendees. The weather was pleasant, allowing a choice of indoor juggling in the gym or outdoor juggling. The atmosphere was very relaxed. Everyone seemed to have a fun time. The gym lighting was adequate and the temperature in the gym was very comfortable. A few people brought their unicycles. Financially the festival was a success. We donated several hundred dollars to the Boys and Girls Club of Ventura where the festival was held.
The public show was held a few blocks away at Montalvo elementary school. The acts featured juggling with clubs, rings, and balls, contact juggling, acrobatics, poi (normally we don’t allow that at a juggling festival, but Bee Jay made an exception for this act!), rola bola, and a guitar solo, It was produced by Stuart Sinclair. The emcee was Bee Jay Joyer. The performers were Donald Trump?, Tommy Stansell, David Cruz, Olga Galchenko, Matt McCorkle, Remy Holwick, Cary Pickford, and Scott Nery. Bobby Hartman assisted with sound and lights. Michael Ahmann was a stage hand.
