Technically, I am now a Hutchinson – but the real truth is that when it comes to Brett’s family, the Schafers pretty much dominate. The sheer volume of them alone is quite phenomenal (Donna – Brett’s mother is 1 of 14)! Then, when you add in their entertaining personalities and their uncanny ability to coordinate routines that would put the Partridge Family to shame…they become an unstoppable force.
It should come as no surprise to you (since you are reading this) that I not only like, but prefer over-the-top things. So when my new family welcomed me into their crew by writing a song and singing it for us, staging a FLASH dance in the middle of the Circus of Love, and performing the famous Schafer Magic Show – I could not have felt more at home.
Here are a few pictures from “The Schafer Shows!” Another big thank you to all of you. You made our big day under the BIG TOP even more “Carnie”!
