The Aurora Pumpkin Launch has always been a lot of fun. Held at the old Delenay Farm, it features some of the best Pumpkin cannons, slingshots, catapults, trebuckets, centrifugal, and human powered pumpkin slingers around! Featuring a variety of activities and music it has been one of my favorite events. Stretch the nine foot clown always brings three dozen of his hand held wood stilts, and bucket stilts to this festival. This year the day started cool, in the low 40s, with clouds and 100% hum…

Brown County Fair, Aberdeen, SD. August 15-21st, 2016

Whew ! Where do I start! With several back to back to back fairs and close to 2000 photos, where do I start? How about with this sweet couple at the Brown County Fair in Aberdeen, SD. They spent at least 20 minutes chasing, capturing and sharing bubbles. When he would bring her a handful of bubbles, she would blow on them until they were gone, then they both would go back to chasing bubbles! Short of delirium, I don’t think it…

We have a bunch of stilts in the basement which I would love to use, however I don’t know how to walk on stilts and nor have I ever tried to teach kids.

Due to the extended drought, Cowboy Stretch has had to sell his giraffe dairy herd, and has taken up styling hair at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. His foam rubber weed wacker makes short work of pesky nose hairs and back thatch as well!
