Wrapped up the Conference with a fun (and delicious) banquet and awards presentation.

It’s time for the 2024 TCA Convention!!!!!

Summer Splash 2024 is coming Sunday, July 28! As always we will start about 1 pm and go on until...? We will have Food, Drinks and Magic (and when the sun goes down, Fire). If you have ever been to this gathering of magicians, juglers, clowns, twisters, facepainters and circus artists then you won't miss it. If you ARE one of these people and have never come out, why not?
As always, we will burn burgers, hot dogs, some vegitarian choices and maybe some other things on the grill. Everyone will also burn their shoulders in the pool. We will provide beer, soda, water, Frozen Margaritas and of course, Cinde's famous jello shots. We will share our magic and our talents.
Call, Text or Message Cinde to RSVP. Also tell her if you plan to bring anything.

Today is International Joke Day! Share you favorite (family-friendly) joke in the comments below!!!

The TCA website is migrating to a new host, so it may be down a little bit tonight (er, well, this morning). - Greg
