Truly Remarkable Loon – A Juggling Sensation

Loon, as his friends call him, began juggling after two years of intense practice juggling balls, clubs, machetes, tomatoes, fire torches and any other random object. Loon started as a street juggler in the late 70’s, traveling from Florida to Hawaii, and from Canada to the Yucatan. In 1986, Loon took his act to the stage and now travels to fairs and festivals all over the United States, bringing inspirational talks and lots of laughter to his juggling routines.

Loon will perform for Ekstrand Elementary students in DeWitt on Friday, January 20th at 1:30pm as part of his school outreach program, “Read Books and Juggle Everything Else”. Loon’s public performance on the following day is titled, “Merry Anticipation of Disaster”.

This family event is sponsored by Window World.
