Colon sets the stage for magical week
How does a village of 1,200 people more than double its population over the course of four days? It’s magic, of course. The Kalamazoo Gazette reports it’s the magical time of year in the Southwest Michigan village as it celebrates the 74th annual Abbott’s Magic Get-Together.
Excerpt:
“Magic is what’s put Colon on the map, and I always liken the Abbott’s Magic Get-Together as Las Vegas comes to Mayberry,” said Greg Bordner, 59, proprietor of Abbott’s Magic Co.
“I always try to remind people this is not Uncle Harry’s card tricks, it’s top international talent from Vegas, Japan, New York, Atlantic City and other worldwide locations From top to bottom, the 2011 lineup is strong … I don’t think anybody will leave a show and feel they didn’t get their money’s worth, because these are professional entertainers.”
