"I have a question."

Do I have to know how to juggle to attend?

No, and in fact the festival is a great place to learn how to juggle.

Will there be door prizes this year?

Yes, but things are a bit different this year.

There will be two levels of prizes to win: "Level A" and "Level B" The prizes for Level A will be more specialized, and of a generally greater retail value than Level B prizes. Some Level B prizes may be aimed specifically for children. Level A prizes include three "Premium Prizes," each having a retail value of $100 or more.

With your cost of admission, you will be given 3 chances to win a prize. $7 adm. gets 3 "A" tickets $2 adm. gets 3 "B" tickets UT students, faculty, and staff get no tickets, but may purchase either "A" or "B" tickets at registration.

Anybody may purchase additional chances at the registration table. $1 for 1 "A" ticket $1 for 3 "B" tickets

There will be one session of prize drawings each day, beginning with Level B prizes. A specific prize will be announced before each drawing, and the session will progress in terms of increasing approximate retail value. Participants will be allowed to add tickets before each drawing in the session, thus allowing you to decide how best to "spend" your chances. Level A drawings will follow in the same manner, and each session will culminate in drawing for one of the Premium Prizes (from A tickets only). Participants must be present to win.

Scheduled drawings and Premium Prizes:
Friday, 8pm- 3 silicon bounce balls (2 3/4") courtesy of Todd Smith Products.
Saturday, 3pm- $100 Gift Certificate courtesy of Renegade Juggling.
Sunday, 3pm- Brand new Torker/Redline 24" Unicycle.

There will be other, smaller prizes to win with each day's drawing.

When you receive your tickets, you may put all 3 toward one particular day's drawing, or split them however you like according to the prizes you most want to win. At the end of each day's drawing, all remaining tickets for that day will be discarded. Ticket-holders must be present to win.

Extra chances to win may be purchased for $1 (ea.) at the registration desk.

It is the 8th annual Juggle Fest, but it says the 6th annual Public show, why?

We didn't have a public show the first two years of the festival.

If this was started in 1994 shouldn't this be the 7th Annual Juggle Fest, and not the 8th?

Well one year we accidently had two of them.

Will the sphere of litigation make an appearance?

One can only hope. The sphere is a mysterious object, and no one can reliably predict its actions. You can find out more about it here .

Can you juggle n+1 (where n = the number of items you are juggling now)?

You shouldn't ask this question. Instead ask, "Can you juggle a bowling ball, an apple, and a chainsaw, and take a bite out of the apple as you juggle?"
