lenged the tricky winds to make
a take-off from the dock and
was then air-borne.
Ballet routines, shoe skiing,
barefoot skiing and the flying
gyro boat all added to the
thrills and chills, for the water-
dumped skiers of the day. The
elewn acts were particularly
good and gave the crowds a
good laugh.

from the Portland group gave a
running commentary on the
show.
The Festival was sponsored
by the North Santiam Cham
