Other Information:

The Up For Grabs juggling club, an IJA affiliate, in association with the Fox Valley Park District is pleased to announce our first ever juggling festival.

We have use of the full gym including the locker room and showers. T-Shirts will be available along with prizes.

Come test your skills. Chicago Juggles (another Chicago area juggling club) will host a number of competitive events including4-ball shower, 5-ball endurance, and the ever popular coin toss. There are short workshops planned for beginners starting each day at 10:00am and every hour thereafter until 2:00pm. Ad-hoc advanced workshops are strongly encouraged.

Fast food is available within walking distance. Hotels are a little further and will require transportation. Be sure to mention you are here for the festival so you can obtain the best rate. If you are interested, the gym is about a mile away from the Hollywood riverboat gambling facility.

Please juggle at your own risk, and do not bring anything that might damage the gymnasium floor. The Park District has asked that all participants sign a waiver of liability.

If you're coming from the north or west; stop, take a break, and play at The Half Way There (more or less) Party before heading to Aurora on Saturday.
