Jugglers and stilt walkers seemed to bring the youth out of students during lunch Tuesday as ULM hosted the “Roving Carnival Artists” as part of the Homecoming week activities.

The Roving Carnival included many different artists ranging from clowns to magicians and stilt walkers to jugglers.

The Roving Artists were brought in by the University because they coincided with the circus theme “The Greatest Campus on Earth,” according to Nathan Hall, assistant vice president of student affairs.

“The Event was aimed to get students out around campus and celebrate homecoming,” said Hall.

The carnival artists put on two shows, one held at noon in the quad where students could also eat free Chick-fil-a and donate to the blood bank. This event featured the stilt walkers who put on a show in the quad and SUB.

The second show was held at 7 p.m. in the SUB. This event highlighted a mixture of magical tricks, carnival style talents and comedy.

The show featured magician James David who entertained the crowd with a number of audience participation tricks and card tricks.

A duo known as “Ryan and Steve,” two professional jugglers, followed David. Ryan and Steve, who have been juggling for 16 years, put on a show displaying talents juggling everything from bowling pins to knives.
