Announcing: Benacs Got Talent

One night only! Saturday, August 1. Time TBD.

Poolside family talent show.

I'm scouting for talents new and old, unusual and usual. Can you...
  • ...Sing the National Anthem backwards?
  • Change a diaper with one hand behind your back?
  • Unicycle blindfolded?
  • Perform a dramatic recitation of an entire Dr. Seuss book?
  • Do a twisted pretzel yoga pose?
It's you we want! All talents are welcome! No talent act will be turned down!

I'll also be hand-picking 4 talent judges to give fun and totally arbitrary comments about each act. (I take bribes...)

So dust off that accordion, polish up those vocal chords, or juice up your jews harp, because its time for

Benacs Got Talent!!!

Sooooo, email me your act and I'll put you in the lineup. This is our family event at the poolside on Saturday night. If I don't have people respond with their talents, you will be tortured by me doing karaoke all night, so you better come out for this! And please come even if you dont want to perform--we need a rowdy crowd, right? And can I make a special request? Is there anyone out there with a recording or a written copy of any of Grampa's stories, like the Gloop-maker, that could do a recitation for us?

Allright, the night is in your hands, so bring on the fun!

Email me at jennyfosdickATgmailDOTcom with your act or with any other exciting ideas.

  1. I don't know if this qualifies as a "talent" per se, but I think we also should have a belly flop contest. We did one at our July 5 pool-wide party and it was a hoot, from the 4-year-olds up to the grown men with beer bellies.

  2. Did Nancy already tell you that the Ashurst sisters are planning a song: a new twist on "A Few of My Favorite Things"
