Hibernation

Yes, it's true folks, we, like dancing bears, have gone into Winter Hibernation.

Though, with request from Mother Earth, we will be present at the "Whose Your Mama Festival" in Kent this April for a performance.

Catch us there!

PS- Parade the Circle is approaching, and we may need some folks to jump into puppets or the parade and perform!  If you are interested in getting involved with us, email danmac00@earthlink.net saying what you are interested in doing.  THANKS!

Ciao.
