This weekend brings the Lawrence Busker Festival to town.
What is a busker, and how does one busk, you ask?Dictionary.com offers this explanation:
busk
[buhsk]
| 1. | Chiefly British. to entertain by dancing, singing, or reciting on the street or in a public place. |
| 2. | Canadian. to make a showy or noisy appeal. |
To Lawrence, it means a weekend of entertainment for kids of all ages, whether you're watching a cowboy demonstrate proper whip techniques (pictured above) - he later snapped a flower out of his mouth with the crack of his whip - or applauding a unicycling fire juggler, or staring eye-to-eye at a living statue, or any of the other unique performances that will travel down Mass Street this weekend.
Hope you can enjoy some of the action. And remember (as the fire-eater says), don't try this at home!
