Our
Summer Tour
involved
a series of dates,
around and about Washington state,
July 15 - August 4.
We
had a great time, met a lot of wonderful people, performed some
downright spiffy shows and enjoyed co-mingling our community with
the communities we visited.
At
each location, we generally:
- had
a parade (locals were welcome to join in)
- offered
a selection of workshops
- presented
a Vaudeville show the likes of which may not be seen anywhere
else and, at which, a good time was had by all
