The coordinators for the Efest 2008 Children's Eco-Village include Paige Long
with Safescape Landcare, Heidi Allwood with Little Bookworms Bookstore, and Nikki
Heil with Whole Foods Market.
A special thank you to Whole Foods Market for sponsoring the Efest Children's
Eco-Village.
Efest proudly presents two unique performances each day by Briana, a 10-year-old highwire star from Sarasota. Watch Briana and her talented friends with the world renowned Wallenda Circus Family complete the fabled chair balance routine. Briana is the youngest girl in history to complete this routine made famous by the original Wallenda troupe. Rick Wallenda, Briana’s mentor, has performed on three continents during his notable 40-year career. This is a unique opportunity to expose your entire family to a young role model with courage, confidence and a genuine love for the natural environment.
