Every
odd calendar year Lincoln
hosts the Flatland
Juggling Festival,
a free event that the
general public is always
encouraged to attend.
Jugglers from all over
the midwest gather there
to share thier skills,
join in fellowship, and
teach juggling to any
non-jugglers who show
up.
The
festival is funded by
money raised each year
by the Lincoln
City Jugglers, the
Omaha
Juggling Clubs, and
the NU Juggling Club.
Many of these funds come
from contributions organizations
have made to the clubs
in reciprocation for juggling
performances, demonstrations
or lectures.
The
club recently recieved
a grant from the Lincoln
Arts Council to teach
juggling to inner city
youth. Through funding
provided by the grant
and contributions of many
of the NU Jugglers own
time, money, and resources,
the club has been empowered
to give away sets of beanbags
on occassions when members
feel the gift will be
recieved by an interested
person with promising
interest or skills in
juggling.
