Denver jugglers celebrate last days of fall

by Donna Hunt

 

On Sept. 22, less than one week before Denver's first snow storm, Denver area jugglers were in the park celebrating a beautiful fall day with the second annual Denver-area Jugglers Picnic.

 

Almost 30 people from Colorado's front range attended. The most popular activity was club passing, with formations including boxes, "N's," stars and circular feeds. It climaxed with the creation of a seven person "circular" line with five people dropping back and two point people.

 

Russ Smith did some nice devil stick work, and Lisa Hogan and Celange presented an impromptu Tai Chi demonstration.
