<h4><strong>Neighborhood Gatherings</strong></h4><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Preparedness planning doesn’t have to be cumbersome or intimidating, and what better way to put these philosophies into practice than with a neighborhood picnic or block party? </span>Summertime is a perfect time to revisit time-honored traditions that bring together all-ages, encourage relationship building, and create joy!<span style="background-color: transparent;">&nbsp;</span></p><h5><br></h5><h5><strong style="background-color: transparent;">TPA’s Guide to Picnic Planning</strong></h5><p><br></p><p><em style="background-color: transparent;">Sanitation &amp; Safety</em></p><p><span style="background-color: transparent;">Careful planning of food and beverage distribution is also key. Communal potluck tables should feature items in single-serving recyclable, reusable or compostable containers to reduce the spread of germs.

The Flying Karamazov Brothers were born on April 23, 1973 at a renaissance fair in northern California. Their vast theatre credits are too numerous to list. Oh, ok.

They have appeared on TV shows including “Late Show with David Letterman,” "Seinfeld", "Ellen", "The Tonight Show", "The Today Show", “Good Morning America”, "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" and many others. They starred in the hit film The Jewel of the Nile. They have performed with the Cleveland Orchestra, the National Symphony Orchestra, the St. Louis Symphony, the San Francisco Symphony, The Seattle Symphony, The Canadian National Symphony, the Toronto Symphony and many other orchestras. They won an Obie award in 1980 for their show, Juggling & Cheap Theatrics which played at the Goodman Theatre, Arena Stage, BAM, London’s West End and moved to Broadway and was taped for a television special on Showtime. And guess what, the troupe has been centered in Port Townsend since 1986! Paul Magid, aka Dmitri Karamazov lives here still. Paul was a co-founder of the New Old Time Chautauqua in 1981.

New Old Time Chautauqua thinks of Godfrey Daniels as one of our own. We’ve met his family and learned his ways. We’ve come to know what frustrates him and what makes him happy. We’ve seen him struggle and we’ve seen him succeed. What must it be like for an audience to meet him for the first time? A theater reviewer in LA saw him in a Variete show and said that his part “… was singularly the most charming part of the show. It was a Shel Silverstein poem brought to life.” If this year is your first Moisture Festival, if you are going to meet Godfrey Daniels for the first time … you are SO lucky, I wish I was you.

The medieval troubadour’s work consisted of entertainment and propaganda, praising the brave and ethical, mocking the hypocritical, teaching the uninformed, and maintaining the people’s spirits during times of oppression. Jim Page is a modern troubadour; his work is topical song-spinning with love, poignance, and reflection in his lyrics, and very, very fast guitar-picking. He is in the American musical lineage of topical singer-songwriters that includes Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger, Phil Ochs and Janis Ian, Bruce Springsteen and Frank Zappa.

Fiona Rose is a multi-disciplinary artist from Anchorage, Alaska. She performs regularly around town, most often as a musician, but also as a juggler, emcee, actress, and occasional burlesque performer. Her music and art draw audience members into the creation and performance of the story. She enjoys organizing a free, family-friendly variety show at the library called “Spenaudeville” as well as specialty events at Van’s Dive Bar.

Fiona was born in Anchorage, and grew up playing music, most notably flute. In 2011, she unexpectedly met up with a touring vaudeville production in Talkeetna, Alaska called the New Old Time Chautauqua. Within two hours, she found herself parading onto stage with the marching band; within two days, she had joined their caravan. Since "running away with the circus," she has continued to develop her art and community organizing skills around Alaska and beyond.

When The New Old Time Chautauqua began in 1981 to take the Country Fair shows on tour around the Pacific Northwest, the Fighting Instruments of Karma went along as both marching and stage band.

The Band began in 1975 with "The Chumleighland March" by Carl Spaethe, expanded shortly thereafter into "The New Chumleighland March" by his alter ego Thaddeus Spae, which continues to be our theme march. FIKMCB/O play Sousa marches, other classic 19th and early 20th century marches, a version of "Teddy Bears' Picnic", Cumbias, Beatles tunes, a Bollywood Wedding March, a Mexican waltz, and has marched on Chautauqua from Washington to Alaska!
