Josh Horton, the world’s most followed and viewed juggler online, headlined for us in 2017, along with a smorgasbord of amazing acts. Our workshop palette was replete with variety as well, with “Spooning with Peter” (Peter Shilladay), our most-attended unicycle workshop to date (Don Stowers), and paper aviation (Ryan Nogle). And, yes, we thoroughly enjoyed the newest fad to hit juggling festivals: club tag!
