You never know what dots God is going to connect...
Last year we were contacted by a man in Pennsylvania who had made a full-sized road sign bearing an image of a guy on a unicycle as a gift for his son. He had used an image from a bumper sticker he'd seen being sold online from unicycle.com. The sign turned out so well that he posted a how-to video online for others to learn to make these unicycle-guy road signs (it's pretty cool; click here to check it out). Only after all this had been done did this man realize the image of the "UniMan" that he'd used had been designed and copyrighted by Dustin Kelm. That is when he contacted us, asking for forgiveness and permission to continue using the image on the one sign and in the how-to video, giving Dustin credit for the image. Permission was granted.
It turns out he is a really nice guy, shares our faith and connected us with schools near him in northwestern Pennsylvania. Juniata Elementary in DuBois PA was one of those schools where we had the privilege of performing the UniShow on March 11, 2015. It was great to finally meet our new sign-making friend who came to the school assembly with his wife and son.
Juniata Elementary students are great! They were so enthusiastic, responsive and attentive throughout the entire program, repeating the theme in unison at the end, "Never Give Up!" The PTA coordinator who organized this event told us afterward that this was the best assembly she has ever brought in and was amazed by the performance and the powerful message. The music teacher was planning on working in her mobile office in the gym during the show but said she wasn't able to get any work done because the show was so captivating and kept getting bigger and better.
Thanks Juniata Elementary for the great reception! Hope to see you again down the road!
