LAST NIGHT (12/6/04) WAS THE 30TH ANNUAL BANQUET OF TENT 122 OF THE CFA.
LAST NIGHT WAS THE 30TH ANNUAL BANQUET OF TENT 122 OF THE CFA. OVER 60 MEMBERS HAD A GREAT EVENING AT HERITAGE OAKS COUNTRY CLUB. THE GUEST SPEAKERS AND ENTERTAINERS WERE MY FRIENDS VINCE AND YVONNE CARMEN. IT WAS REFRESHING TO BE ENTERTAINED INSTEAD OF BEING INFORMED OF PETA.S LATEST TACTICS, RINGLINGS LATEST,ETC. IT WAS THE BEST $17 BUCKS I SPENT SINCE FAMOUS MAGICIAN JOHN CALVERT LECTURED AT THE LOCAL MAGIC CLUB. TENT PRESIDENT HENRY BUSH REALLY CAME UP WITH A WINNER ON THE BANQUET.
I JUST CAME IN THE DOOR FROM PEDRO & DOLLYS CIRCUS SARASOTA. WHAT A SHOW. AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I AM NOT INTO "ARTY-FARTY" SHOWS. WELL THEY KEPT THE "ARTY FARTY" TO A MINIMUM THIS YEAR AND CAME UP WITH A SUPER TWO AND A HALF PERFORMANCE. STARTING WITH THE MOROCIAN CONNECTION AND ENDING WITH THE FLYING WALLENDAS 7 PERSON PYRAMID, IT THE BEST OF THE BEST. IAN GARDEN WITH A "FIRST TIME ANY WHERE"LIBERTY HORSE ACT KNOCKED THE AUDIENCE FOR A LOOP. IF YOU ARE ANYWHERE NEAR SARASOTA,FLORIDA THIS MONTH I URGE YOU TO SEE THIS SHOW. ALL THE CIRCUS GREATS WERE IN THE AUDIENCE. I EVEN SPOTTED DICKIE GARDEN. WHAT A NIGHT.
