Henry the Juggler and Sunny Rose Farm ponies – and a whole lot more in between – entertained an enthusiastic turnout of more than 60 people – most of them kids – at Looking Glass Gardens on Saturday, June 29, during our now-annual Family Fun Day.

    One visitor wrote on Facebook’s ConnectSandisfield, “It was the biggest bouncy house I’ve ever seen.”

    Henry Lappen, a professional juggler out of Amherst, balanced an incredible number of items on his nose, juggled, and invited audience participation. Fire-torch juggling was the finale, with juggling lessons after the show.

    A very special thank you to Chuck and Zoe Nelson for graciously opening Looking Glass Gardens to host the event. Thank you to Dawn Lemon and Bubs Beans & Dogs for feeding us. Thanks Rose Nelson of Sunny Rose Farm, the Massachusetts Cultural Council, and to Juggler Henry Lappen. And to all who pitched in to help.

    Our next event is our Annual Pig Roast on Saturday, September 14, at the American Legion in New Boston. To receive emails of our upcoming events, join our mailing list at sandisfieldevents@recreationcommittee.info
