The Portland Jugglers are so excited to return to Reed College! Due to the brand new gym floors the college requires:

No outdoor/street shoes. Attendees may wear indoor shoes, slippers, socks, or be barefoot. Please bring clean shoes if you don't want to wear socks or be barefoot.
-
All club screws must be covered. PJF will be providing, at $1 per knob donation to Portland Jugglers, polyurethane replacement knobs with built-in screw covers. These knobs are very durable and come in four colors: Black, white, red, shiny gold. PLEASE BE PREPARED TO MODIFY YOUR CLUBS! The Portland Jugglers will have a table set up with screwdrivers and assistants so you can switch your knobs. No unmodified clubs allowed in gym unless they were built without exposed screws (e.g., Renegade clubs).

About the Portland Jugglers
We embrace all kinds of juggling, object manipulation, and circus skills. We are famously playful and generous with the sharing of our juggling knowledge.
The Portland Jugglers is a nonprofit educational organization dedicated to increasing the appreciation and enjoyment of juggling and its affiliated arts.
Reed College began offering juggling as a PE class in 1979, and it was open to the public who frequently brought new skills to the college class. The public component grew into the Portland Jugglers. Additionally, we have hosted the Portland Juggling Festival at Reed nearly every year of the festival's existence.
