Annual festival in Oregon offers entertainment galore

OREGON - Sunday's parade stepped off moments after the morning showers gave up and departed, leaving a smaller-than-usual crowd to line the streets of Oregon for the 38th annual Autumn on Parade festival. Yet, there was plenty to see and do at the 2-day festival that began Saturday, and plenty of performers to put smiles on the faces of the thousands who attended. There were performers on stilts. Knives and fire were thrown around. There were tricksters on unicycles, and a bike that could fit in the palm of someone's hand. Bob Hunt, 45, of Chicago performed at the festival as "Circus Boy" - equal parts comedian, juggler, bicyclist, and fire-eater. Hunt amazed the crowd by juggling knives while on a unicycle, and made people laugh as he did
