Have a Ball For
anyone who's ever picked up a couple of tennis balls and proceeded to
reduce an expensive ashtray to shards,
it's time once again for the Sixth Annual Groundhog Day Jugglers Festival,
sponsored by the Atlanta Jugglers Association (AJA). This year's
jugglefest will be held Friday, Feb. 3 through Sunday, Feb. 5 at the Grady
High School Girls Gym, at the corner of 10th Street and Charles Allen
Drive. There'll be lots of public shows and competitions, but the main
thrust of the affair is fun.
"We
don't take the competition seriously," says Rodger French of the AJA,
"the judges don't even know anything about juggling." This
year's panelists include Channel 5's Leroy Powell, WABE-FM's Boyd Lewis
and Faye Allen of Seven Stages Theatre. Approximately 80 jugglers will
display their various talents, according to French, who adds that last
year "jugglers came from as far north as New Hampshire and as far
south as Florida."
Admission
to all activities is free. For details, call Rodger French. And keep the
balls rolling. |
