Dec 6th, 1997 Cornell University

The Aftermath:

A big thank you to everyone who came to the Jugglefest, and to everyone who put in time organizing it.
I think (hope) that everyone who came had a great time, I have yet to hear any complaints.

Thanks again to all our sponsors for the excellent door prizes.  I know that many people went home happy with brand new juggling equipment and t-shirts (and about 7 different catalogues! :).

Dubé, Infinite Illusions, Renegade, Klutz, Todd Smith, FlyingDesigns

In total there were 41 attendees, with jugglers from all over NY (including 7 from the Strong Jugglers, University of Rochester) and nearby states, about what we had expected for a mini convention.

Workshops:

	There were several scheduled workshops including 3 ball workshop by Boris Deianov, a diabolo workshop by Hilby, a devil stick workshop by Mark Van Waes and then several informal workshops which popped up every now and then. All in all I think that almost everyone picked up a new trick or two.
Boris' three ball workshop

Competitions:

To finish off the convention there were several competitions.
The toilet paper juggling competition was the real star here, thanks to Ken Andrews for the idea!
A note to the Strong Jugglers: you may have won this round of combat but just wait until next year... ;)

The Show:

	The finale show in the Statler auditorium at 8pm was amazing we had a total of 6 performers, including a great comedy presenter Nels Cremean of 'In Jest'. Hilby - Diabolo, Joanne - A 3,4,5 and 7 balls routine. Karl "Scott" Clodfelter - Cigar Boxes ?? - Magic ?? - Straight jacket escaping while reciting Poe (has to be seen to be believed) We're still looking for their names...
Hilby attempts the never seen before marshmallow trick.
