This whole past weekend was spent entertaining kids with circus props. I love my job. It was a hot one, and by the end of the weekend I needed to just lay in bed and do nothing. Being out in the mid 90s in humid Kansas weather is no joke, but it was worth it for all the smiles I got to make happen.

The first bunch of pictures are from 3rd Fridays on Straberry Hill in KC. They do this every month and have art booths and food trucks out there. It's definitely worth checking out. I'll be back there in October with my prop trunk again.

The last picture is me heading out for 7 hours of prop wagon fun at the Amelia Earhart Festival in Atchison Kansas. I didn't get any pictures of the actual event since I was solo at this one, but I love doing this one every year and had great crowds throughout the day.

If you are looking for something different that will entertain kids and teens at an event, just message me about the Circus Ruckus Prop Wagon!

I know it’s not the 4th, but here is our 4th of July video. We were too busy performing to edit and put things online right away. The Last Carnival Acrobats performed as part of the amazing line up at this year's Summerfest at The Douglas County Fairgrounds for America’s 250th 4th of July Celebration.
In a time when our nation is deeply divided, I want to thank everyone who came out to cheer us on. This is also a great time to remind us all that freedoms are not given, they are taken. From Native American rights, women’s suffrage movement and the continued fight for bodily autonomy, the Civil Rights movement, to the rights of immigrants even now to be treated with human respect. None of this comes from being silent. So, in celebration of the 4th, I urge people to continue to have their voices heard and speak up for your neighbors in need. Find your local grassroots movements, get involved in local politics, and make sure people in America and coming to America all get treated with dignity and respect. No one person should decide what this country is or how it feels. We should all have our voice. Happy Independence Day ya’ll from The Last Carnival.

It's that time of year again when I bring this Mary Poppins of trunks out to events around the country to teach the love of circus far and wide. This trunk is deceiving. It may seem small, but inside is all the fun to entertain around 40 people at any given moment with spinning plates, poi, staves, flower sticks, diabolos, view fans, and other juggling props.

Message me to hire me for fairs, festivals, birthday parties, or any special event you may want some extra circus fun at. Just ask about the circus ruckus prop trunk!

I know you work hard for your money, so starting June 1st, I'm offering a new training package that will allow a few dedicated students to get more circus in at the lowest price per training session with the Circus Unlimited pass.

There will be three of these passes available for each training level (beginner, intermediate, and advanced). The pass will include reserved weekly class spots in whatever your highest training level is and the option to drop into lower level classes when drop-in spots are open. You also get into all the jams and open gyms with this pass. The only training this pass will not include is specialty workshops. The price for Unlimited is $150/month and must be paid at the beginning of the month. This pass is not refundable and can not be used for make-up classes in future months. If you are training even two times a week with us, this discounts your training to under $20/class. Training 3 times a week - that lands your training at just over $10/session.

If you are interested in this new class pass, shoot me a message while there are spots left at your training level.
