They have been featured in shows in two dozen countries around the world and are bringing their juggling, balancing, unicycling, magic, comedy show to Spring Grove. "We [F.F.E.] wanted to bring something new and different to Spring Grove that would be entertainment that a whole family with children of any age could enjoy," said Amy Gross, F.F.E. board member. "We're excited and looking forward to seeing this unique act." The school received an e-mail from Pat Davison regarding his show and that he was in the area. They are based out of Mission, Texas, but they are performing for a Shriners event in the Twin Cities and were interested in doing other shows in the area. "He has been great to work with," said Gross. "He's not charging us mileage or any money upfront, his payment will come from his portion of the ticket sales on Friday night."

For any tickets sold over 300, F.F.E. will receive 100 percent of the ticket cost. "We hope people will spread the word and invite their families and friends from the area to this fun show," added Gross. "It would be great to see the whole gymnasium filled! It would show great support for the school and community." There will also be a concession stand during the show, and Pat Davison will have a booth where he'll be selling magic tricks and other items.
