I've posted this on unicyclist.com as well, but wanted to write here in
case I catch any additional interest.

A unicycling festival is being organized in Poland. June 25-27, 2010. We
are currently seeking talented unicyclists who are willing to run
workshops and/or perform. Of course, riders of all skill levels
(including none) are welcome. And yes, although this is a unicycling
convention, I have no doubt there will be a number of jugglers in
attendance as well.

The website will be updated as more details are worked out:

One Wheel Festival Chrzelice 2010
June 25-27, 2010

We would like to welcome all unicyclists, from beginners to experts to the
first international "One Wheel Festival" in Chrzelice, Poland. Forty years
ago, unicycling became popular in Chrzelice, and since then, Chrzelice
maintains its standing as the unicycling capitol of Poland.

Chrzelice has hosted many Polish unicycling conventions, but this is the
first time we are organizing a truly international event. Chrzelice is a
small town located in southwestern Poland, roughly between the cities of
Wrocław and Kraków. Please feel free to contacts us with any
questions you may have about the convention, traveling to Poland, or
anything else that interests you.

If you are interested in performing, or teaching any workshops, please
contact us so we can make arrangements.

Important events:

Trials competition

Agility competitions, including: relay races, races, slalom, speed trial,
unicycle-wrestling, and others

All participants will receive convention items, such as t-shirts. More
valuable prizes will be awarded to contest winners.

A ride will be organized through the Opawskie Mountains, including the
highest peak, Biskupia Kopa, 889 meters (2900 feet) above sea level. For
those interested, a downhill riding contest will follow.

Throughout the convention, beginner-level classes will be offered to
anyone interested in learning to ride.

Performances will take place in various unicycling disciplines (freestyle,
trials, etc), as well as viewing of unicycling films. These events are
intended to interest unicyclists, and the general public as well.

During the festival, two welcome-parties will be organized: fire night,
and fire night.

Basic hostel-type accommodations with some meals will be arranged free of
charge. Special buses will be arranged to bring people from Opole (the
nearest city) to Chrzelice, and back to Opole on the final day. (More
details about traveling from abroad will be provided here.)

For those who prefer higher-class accommodations such as a hotel, we will
be happy to assist in making those arrangements.

Registration forms and information will soon be available at
www.jednokolo.pl

Funding provided by the Ortus Foundation of the Chrzelice Castle.
