Performance Artists To Dazzle At The Fair
For a small fair the Moose Jaw Exhibition Company has lined up some quality entertainment.
On Friday the Hometown Fair announced another pair of free top attractions which are headed for the world famous Calgary Stampede after their stop at the Hometown Fair in the friendly city.
They are acts which make the Hometown Fair notorious for the high quality free entertainment offered to fair goers.
Throughout the Hometown Fair - June 21 to 23 - there will be some performing artists whose costumes and appearance are set to dazzle the crowds.
From San Diego, California the Hometown Fair will feature Animal Cracker Conspiracy.
Animal Cracker Conspiracy
Animal Cracker Conspiracy are a group of performance artists who not only dazzle the crowds with their antics but also their costumes are a “colouful site to be seen,” said George Fowler general manager of the Moose Jaw Exhibition Company.
The group is described as taking puppetry to new heights with stilts and colourful costumes.
As they dance in the area of the Convention Centre and the Golden Nugget Centre their colourful handmade costumes will not only delight you but they are open to people taking selfies, Fowler said.
“Most people have cameras on their phones, or bring one, as there are opportunities for photos which will be quite colourful,” he said.
“They are very colourful and exciting.”
Animal Cracker Conspiracy has performed in fairs all over the United States and Canada where they have been given rave reviews for not only their originality and colourful costumes but also for livening up the events.
As a note the group just put on a performance in San Diego where they charged $15 USD but the pair can be see performing as part of the gate admission at the Hometown Fair.
Mango and Dango
An additional attraction will be helping out Animal Cracker Conspiracy and they are Mango and Dango.
Mango and Dango are jugglers and acrobats and they are sure to add a lot of excitement at the fair.
They are bringing somethng called the Flying Umbrella Ship and will be performing not only from a stationary but also roving near the Convention Centre and Golden Nugget Centre.
Here is a video showing they are full of laughs for the crowd.
“We think it is going to be a good show. Everybody likes stilt walkers and all dressed up in amazing costumes it is not an act we often get to see here. And from here it is of to the Calgary Stampede…it is pretty good entertainment.”
Asked about the cost compared to other centres which will feature the same acts he said ‘it absolutley shows it is economical to come here and see them at the fair.”
Animal Cracker Conspiracy and Mango and Dango join the previously announced K9 Stars Dog Show and Ride The Vibe Motorcycle Stunt Show.
The brightly handmade costumes have graced not only fairs but also many other events involving some very well known celebrities.
