We at West Coast Juggling had our first vending experience at this year’s Fire Drums festival, surrounded by beautiful redwood tress in Santa Cruz, California. What a great experience!! We will definetly be returning next year to vend again. Fire Drums is a great way to meet people in the fire community, and in our opinion, is one of the best learning opportunities for object manipulation and fire spinning, with a wide array of teachers & workshops to choose from. (For more information on the Fire Drums festival, please visit www.firedrums.org) We were introduced to Buugeng, which is a uniquely designed S-shaped staff, that can create a super cool kaleidescope effect when doubled. We got to meet the loveable Dai Murata of www.zaobab.com, such a friendly guy, and a great entertainer. (For more information on Buugeng, please click on our page entitled Buugeng Info.)
