• OPEN JUGGLING
• RAFFLE
• VENDORS
• WORKSHOPS
• PARTY
• GAMES
• FUN! FUN! FUN!

We had such a great time last year that we're trying to change as little as possible. Like last year, there is no charge for registration etc.

The festival shirts have a picture of Art Jennings as "Happy Dayze the Bum Juggler" (with Art's permission) and "WILL JUGGLE FOR FOOD" on the front. This is part of a shameless publicity ploy. We're asking for donations of nonperishable food. We hope this will help out the local food bank and get some good karma/publicity for us.

We'll try to sell you a T-shirt, can of pop, or raffle ticket but juggling is Free & Untaxed. What we have changed for this year are major improvements.

The Location:

• Last Year: 150 jugglers, Rock Island Armory, monster space in the heart of the Rock Island "District", the best food, drink, shows, and gambling in the Midwest.
• This Year: 200+ jugglers in the same place. We had to fight like hell to keep the Armory. Let's teach them how much fun jugglers and juggling can be so EVERYBODY show up to play.

The Show:

• Last Year: Show in a nice little theater that was almost impossible to find in the dark.
• This Year: Same theater but with new exterior lighting and sunset is LOTS later in April.

( If you'd like to be in the show please let me know. We're doubling the pay for performers. That's right! You could get Four raffle tickets.)

The Party:

• Last Year: Signature Inn Bettendorf , great food, drink, and Free Breakfast.
• This Year: Why mess with a good thing?

Accomodation:
To reserve a room, call them at (319) 355-7575. Mention the JUGGLEFEST for the best rate.

Directions:
From the head waters at Lake Itasca, follow The Mighty Mississippi, the Father of Waters, south the Great River Bend area and watch out for Lock & Dam 15. Take a left just after locking through. From the Gulf of Mexico follow the river north and turn right just before Lock & Dam 15.

If coming by car (dull!) Rock Island is near the spot where I-80 and I-74 cross the river (see above) and you'll need a map. Maps and Festival Fliers will be mailed out to All IJA members in Illinois and Iowa in mid-March. Club contact people in Illinois, Iowa, and all surrounding states will get copies in early March. If you don't fall into one of these catagories, send an e-mail to one of the contact people below.
