How the Finnigan Family did it!

From 1976 through 2006 we traveled to 46 states and taught juggling in over 2,000 schools. For the last ten years my family accompanied me and we lived in a 45 foot Motor Home. Our day started with a teachers meeting in the morning. We took the kids one grade level at a time throughout the day, held an all-school assembly in the afternoon and Family Night in the evening. We were getting $1,500 per school or summer camp when we got off the road, plus we sold scarves, beanbags, rings, clubs, and other props after the show. I’ll let you know how we booked our programs, scheduled our route, presented the skills, sold $1,000’s worth of merch every night and made this into a marvelous lifestyle for us and an infectious event for schools and summer camps. We say our house in Celebration Florida is “The House That Juggling Built.”
