Sue,
How does Richmond, Virginia strike you?? Clowning 4 Christ's conference is late April here.
Jubilee the Clown (Yes, I'm back! Grin.)

Jubilee! Glad to see you back!

The instructor of the local clown classes that I took just told me that she will be going to the New England Mooseburger Camp. It will be held May 19 - 22 in Lenox, Massachusetts. She also asked if I would like to go with her. I really want to. The only problem is - I'm terrified to fly. What to do? What to do?

GiGi :)

Thanks, Scruffy. I'm rockin' but rollin'!
Jubilee

GiGi, if you're able, close you eyes and go. With three kids the trip if to much for me right now. But I'd love to go myself.

Jubilee great to hear from you again. I'm attending the Creative Ministry Festival in Columbia SC April 22 &23 . I've been to Clowning 4 Christ, they're good, you'll have alot of fun.

GiGi if you can go then go dont worry about flying Idont like to fly either but it will be worth it belive me I myself will be there with bells on my toes
It will be an experience you will not forget some of the best clowns in the world will be teaching there
I am looking forward to meeting you and hope you decide to come and share in the fun

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I do believe I'm going to put on my big brave clown face and get on the plane. I must really want to go if I'm even considering flying! Hey Jamz, when it gets closer we will have to chat and see how I can find you when I get there. Are you staying at the Eastover? I will be sharing a room there with the woman I spoke of earlier. I can't wait!

GiGi :D

Glad you decided to come It will be a blast and you will never forget it
Even though Ilve only about 1/2 hr away I willl be staying at Eastover because Idont want to miss anything and sometimes the best things happen after the classes at night

Hey Jamz, I didn't realize you lived so close. I was wondering if I could bother you for a few tidbits of info. What would be the closest airport to Lenox? The flights I've found so far fly into Hartford. Is that really far? Would I need to rent a car or just take a cab? And one more question if you would be so kind. What is the weather like there at that time of year?

Thanks so much!

The weather is nice in the berkshires but can be very cool at night so pack a jacket or sweater
Check with JOE BARNEY about rides from the airport they might have arranged something

Are you flying in on thurs because if you are and have to go to harford Im sure we can do something so you dont have to spend money on a rental car
There will be more than enough to spend money on

Due to my fear of flying, I'm trying to find THE shortest flight. I found one nonstop but it arrives in Hartford at 5:47pm on Wednesday which is a little early. There are lots of other flights with layovers that arrive Thursday am. I haven't booked my flight yet because I wasn't sure what time everthing got started on Thursday. I don't want to miss anything.

GiGi :)

I was just curious if anyone will be attending the South East Clown Association Convention in September in Augusta, GA?
