We did see a near miss - a woman acrobat was propelled flipping into the air from a swing where she was supposed to land on the shoulders of a guy standing on a long pole held by another guy and she missed. It wasn't until she started falling that I saw she was fortunately attached to a wire. The most popular performers were the acrobats who jumped on four poles in the center of the stage. One guy actually climbed up a pole upside down with only his hands.
The evening was jam-packed with jugglers and strong men and clowns and drummers and trapeze artists and live music. We got there early which was fortuitous because most of the performers come out before the show and start goofing around with the children in the audience.
I have an idea for dealing with running out of yarn for the Great American Aran Afghan but I have to wait until it clears up to take photos. At least all this rain has been creating some gorgeous sunsets.
