Fourteen “Pullers” each grab a set of handles affixed to a circular canvas blanket in order to launch an acrobatic “Bouncing Girl” high into the air. We have been entertaining crowds with our high-flying act at parades, festivals and other events since 1886.
The team upholds the long-standing tradition of performing the blanket toss, which is believed to predate written history. Native Americans employed the toss as elevating one of their clan to a higher vantage point to watch for game, predators and other threats.

We would just be a bunch of strange people carrying around a blanket if it wasn't for our very skilled Bouncing Girls. See the history of these amazing women.
