Log Rolling with the Lumberjills!

Dextre and I always have a blast at the Caroline County Fair, but this year there was a special treat in store for us! There was a new act at the fair, The Lumberjills, and they were a hoot!

Are you fangirling yet? I am!

Their show includes hot sawing, underhand chopping, axe throwing, cross cut sawing, chainsaw carving and LOG ROLLING!! It's "A family friendly show that is high action, fast paced, educational, historical, and tons of fun." We agree on all counts! Plus they're super friendly and let us roll around in their pool. Check it out in this video:

What a good time! Thanks you very much to Allison and Nina for being such patient teachers. It was really a pleasure to meet you both. I sure hope our paths will cross again soon!

Axe Throwing

The Caroline County Fair is conveniently located just off of Interstate 95 North of Richmond and South of Fredericksburg. Next year's dates are June 19-22nd. We'd love to see you there.

Circus Stella Show with the VAN as a Backstage!

   This was our first weekend to test out the van-as-a-backstage theory we've had going on from the start of this adventure and guess what! It worked great!

Thanks to Jessie Meyers for the photo!

   We performed in Blacksburg, VA for their Summer Solstice Festival and had a blast. The crowds were terrific and we were parked next to a vendor giving away free ice cream. I can think of no better neighbors than that folks.

Below is a fun video of our set-up and some snippets from the show!

   There you have it! The insulated cargo van is a much cooler backstage area than the tent we've used for years. Level up...complete! It is really incredible what a bit of insulation can do. It makes me wonder why the ceilings of ALL cars/trucks/SUVs aren't insulated. Of course the vents, exhaust fan, and box fans help too.

   If you're interested in safe kennels for traveling with your pets, these are the kind we use. And if you use that link to head over to amazon, anything you buy during that shopping trip will net Circus Stella a small commission at no cost to you. Blamo! It's magical...especially for us. Thanks! If you don't need a crash tested kennel, try this mystery link instead!

And now, for your enjoyment, here is a photo of Dextre's best side. You're welcome. :)

Thanks Jessie!

Swimming with the Circus Stella Dogs; Underwater Camera

We're living in our trailer at Lake Anna State Park while performing on weekends at the Virginia Renaissance Faire. This gives us the opportunity to take the dogs swimming on the regular. They love to swim.

We have these life jackets for them for when we take them kayaking, but they don't need them for shoreline swimming.

Clarice is an especially good swimmer. Her mother was a water dog, a Nova Scotia Tolling Retriever. Here we are, swimming together in the lake! I can't even tell you how much fun it is to be out in the water with them.

If you like underwater dog swimming videos, I also made this one. This is the dog pool called Oasis in PA near the Pennsylvania Renaissance Festival. We rented it just for our pack!
