Each year the Flamingo Club
gives an award at the IJA
summer festival to an outstanding young female juggler. The award
winner is presented with a gift of new juggling props to inspire her to
practice and continue the art form and encourage other girls to juggle
also.
Congratulations to this year's winner!
