All juggling events in 1987
Juggling events in United States, 1987
Monday, 13 July 1987 to Sunday, 19 July 1987
This is an IJA event.
Spirits are high among jugglers in Akron, Ohio, site of the IJA's forthcoming 40th Anniversary Annual Convention. The historical theme of the event will accent everything from the welcome party on Tuesday, July 13, to the final public show the following Saturday night, July 18. Eddie Johnson, an IJA founder, is organizing a Friday afternoon workshop panel of early members who will reminisce about juggling days of yore. Among those early members already planning on attending this year are Art Jennings, the IJA's first president, Bobby Jule, George Barvin, and Roger Dollarhide.
Convention chairman Kevin Delagrange is beginning the week on the University of Akron campus with an IJA birthday party in place of the traditional welcome party. The IJA private show Wednesday night will be "Old & New Vaudeville." If you're interested in presenting your talent, whichever category it fits, please contact Delagrange. Craig Barnes, producer of the Saturday night finale show, will be giving that convention grande finale a historical twist as well.
