My days continue to be too busy with matters not yet fit to be shared, so please enjoy Fairy Ball pictures while I hope this situation soon changes.
They started taking volunteers for a Lion Dance and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png){kind=small}
bunnyhugger joined the first and, it turned out, only group to perform.

Here, someone makes off with a set of speakers while everyone else watches the dragon.
Frame from the middle of my movie of the dragon dancing.
And here we're near the end, the dragon's final bow.
Another sword-fighting demonstration, this time by night so everything looks blurry.

The end of the demonstration. Seconds gather up the participants.

Trivia: In the last year of Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz's life (1873) he ran a summer school for natural history, at the seashore on Penikese Island, off the southern shore of Massachusetts. Around 50 to 60 people attended. Source: Yankee Science in the Making, Dirk J Struik. (The island would in the 20th century house a leper hospital and, later, a residential school for troubled boys and is now a bird sanctuary.)
