Just an FYI - there are still a few spots left for the Busking competition sponsored by the Colon Chamber of Commerce August 5th and 6th. First place - $500 - 2nd place - $300 and third place $150

You can find applications and rules on http://www.colonmichiganmagic.com

Hope to see you there!

I'm not interested in competing, but I might drive down to watch. Is the busking a free-to-watch or in Tibbits or something else?

From the Home page: " All events listed are totally FREE -
NO Cover fee for any of the lectures/events!
Thanks to all of our corporate sponsors who make this possible."

I can't see any entry form for doing the busking so maybe you just turn up with your gear on the streets to busk [I hope that's o.k. in that city - getting a permit usually comes with 'conditions'] then go to free lectures etc when they are on.

Oh, after going in a couple of depths I found the conditions here:

The performing is done for free on the streets of Colon. All of the voting is done by the spectators, but a good performance deserves a tip too.

You can also find the busking rules and application in the Abbott Compendium, which also includes applications to other events that week including the 1st Colon Car Show (if you wish to enter a classic car), Colon Brick Campaign (if you want a brick with your name on it in the new park), and the Abbott Talent Stage Contest (for registered Get Together members who wish to compete). The table of content will take you right to the application of your choice.

Good luck to all participants
