GIGGLES & GRINS BIRTHDAY PARTY 2011

            We celebrated our 19th birthday on March 22, 2011, and what a celebration it was!  Local caricature artist Russ Hogle was on hand to doodle the members and some of the G & G gang performed for the alley and guests.

(Left) It's the Boss!  Boss Clown CAREFUL begins a peformance that raised the roof...or at least his hat!

             (Above) ZILCHO and LULLABELLE pose for caricaturist Russ Hogle.  ZILCHO has been responsible for many broken cameras in his day and on this particular night Russ reported that he broke 18 pencils and his paper caught fire twice!

(Left) Russ Hogle concentrates in a vain attempt to capture the essence of some of the Giggles & Grins members.  A hopeless task, to be sure.

            (Below) HUGZ was so pleased with her Russ Hogle penned caricature that she intends to use it as the photo for her driver's license.

(Above) It seems clear that ZILCHO's biggest fan is LULLABELLE, and that's fortunate since they live together!

(Below)  MR FUNNY BONES demonstrates magical abilities.

            (Above) The classic "Is it time yet?" gets another airing by alley members. And yes, it was (eventually) time!
