Aqua
Chautauqua II
New
Old Time Chautauqua took to the sea again!
The
musical vaudeville circus with a strong tendency
towards education presented their 28th-annual summer
tour...
Vaudeville
Extravaganza
The
Evening Show was a family-friendly, all the bells
and whistles, madcap evening of music, juggling,
magic, acrobatics, clowning, aerial acts and comedy.
World
class clown, Iman Lizarazu, the Mud Bay Jugglers,
Runaway Circus, Vanessa Vortex and The Fighting
Instruments of Karma Marching Chamber Band/Orchestra
(captains of choice cuts) were just a few of the
Special Guests amongst our multi-generational troupe.
Before
the Vaudeville Extravaganza, were these FREE events:
The
colorful Everybody's Welcome Parade - complete
with marching band, jugglers, stilt walkers, dancers
and little fairies - promenaded down the main streets
of towns, to announce our arrival.
The
Free Educational Circus, at which one could
learn to Juggle, Hula-Hoop, perform Acrobatics,
play Samba Rhythms, and literally Clown around.
Other activities included Mask-Making, Trash Fashions
made from recycled materials, Quilting (making "blankees"
for local, at-risk infants), and a Song Swap (at
which one was invited to bring one's musical instruments
and songs.) There was also a Solar Water Heater
workshop and a discussion about Peak Oil and "The
Other" (asking the question, "How do we, as individuals
and nations, treat people who are different from
us?")

Port
Gamble, WA
New
Old Time Chautauqua
was
mighty happy indeed to be part of the 2nd
annual
Great
Peninsula Future Festival
There
are so many things in our world that need
attention - sustainability, thinking local,
healthy food, climate change - and we think
the important business of reeducating ourselves
needs to be fun, too. Mixed in with all the
interesting and innovative ideas at the GPFF,
we again offered our whimsy and humor through
music, juggling, magic, aerial performance,
acrobatics and comedy.
The
New Old Time Chautauqua partnered with
local non profit organizations who are doing
great things, such as community gardens that
donate their bounty to the local food bank,
animal rescue, environmental cleanup, supporting
at-risk youth and families, community radio,
educational programs for kids, and food co-ops.
We
loved revisiting the Great Peninsula Future
Festival.

About
Plant
Amnesty
Most
people take it for granted that trees and plants are being
maintained properly, or that it's not really a major issue.
Yet think of the green infrastructure of the city of Seattle.
Improper pruning and tree-topping add up to an expensive
waste of resources. Many trees and plants pay for these
mistakes with their lives.
PlantAmnesty
was founded in 1987 to "stop the senseless torture
and mutilation of trees and shrubs." The nonprofit
group uses a unique blend of humor and controversy to raise
public awareness of "Crimes Against Nature" committed
in our own backyards.
After
alerting the public to this problem, volunteers provide
readily accessible and accurate information, materials and
services. PlantAmnesty's solutions to plant abuse and neglect
include garden renovation workshops, classes, videos, a
referral service and volunteer pruning and tree projects
throughout the community.
