George of the Juggle- Magician and Juggler10 A.M., CITY PARK, WEST BALL DIAMOND George of the Juggle’s comedy magic and juggling is definitely for kids and families. George’s show is filled with entertaining magic using both every day objects and classic illusions. You’ll see magic with coins, cards, an

illusion from the classic Walt Disney movie “Bambi”,

plus people howl at his “Hypnotic Wheel” optical illusion- you have to see this one to believe it! You’ll also see juggling and circus arts types of demonstrations which

the kids love, such as Jugglestix, the Diabolo,

Plate Spinning, Boomerang Throwing, “Juggling With the

Audience”, and “People Juggling”. George of the Juggle’s show is interactive and his goal is to make his audiences smile and laugh, to have a fun time.Sponsored by: Lewis Family Drug, Maintainer, Neal Chase Lumber, Northwestern Bank/Security Realty

Duke Otherwise- Children’s Musician11:15 A.M., CITY PARK, WEST BALL DIAMOND Using his clever songs and unique showmanship, Duke Otherwise effortlessly engages and inspires children (and adults) of all ages. From Madison, WI, he has been entertaining for many years with his guitar, tap shoes and distinct singing voice. His original songs will make you laugh, clap, dance and interact. Duke has performed all across the country, with some international touring as well; challenging his audiences to think

outside the box with him while singing some of the wittiest and most fun tunes ever heard in a room full of kids!Sponsored by: Citizens State Bank, Deluxe Feeds Inc., Dr. Ronald Zoutendam, Peoples Bank

Laura Ernst-Juggler, Acrobat, and Aerialist12:30 P.M., CITY PARK, WEST BALL DIAMOND With something for everyone, Laura has a variety of stunts that range from death defying to ridiculously funny. Her show gets rolling inside a human-sized hamster ball. Add that to the international award-winning juggling and astounding acrobatic stunts and you’ve got a show beyond compare that will be remembered long after the event. You’ll get the same skills that not only won her a spot on America’s Got Talent, but also make her an international award winning juggler. In 2012 Laura became the only woman in the world to juggle flaming chainsaws!Sponsored by: Casey’s General Stores, Cellular Only-Verizon Wireless, Choice Chiropractic LLC, Sheldon Hy-Vee
