The WU December 4-7
The Weekend Update (WU)
Featured Artist: Travis Fessler
Travis Fessler is a showman au extraordinaire. He swallows swords, eats fire, lays on beds of nails – you name it. You can learn more about him here.
Travis was recently featured on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, putting something in his mouth that you’ll just have to see for yourself.
Together, he and Erik Kloeker (who broke a Guinness Book World Record for juggling upside down) perform as the Pickled Brothers Sideshow.
You are likely to see them out at festivals and Renaissance Fairs – but they do parties too!

Saturday Dec. 6: This is your last chance to shop at Leapin Lizard Gallery, an amazing art gallery and gift shop in a beautiful rehabbed church on the Mainstrasse.
