Picky toucan
Posted by: walbritton
Video duration: 122 seconds
CLOVIS -- Toucan "Sam" may not have an original name, but his dietary habits are quite peculiar. You see, Sam eats only the red pieces of food that come in his tri-colored feed.
While the reason still is unknown, we heard about the $5,000 bird, on sale at Pet Extreme, and we thought we'd share his story with our online readers.

The first Thursday of the month
Posted by: walbritton
Video duration: 204 seconds
Fulton Plaza Thursdays and ArtHop -- two of downtown Fresno's biggest events -- were scheduled for the same night (once a month) for the summer months last year. The original thought was that both events drew from the same crowd. The result, however, showed quite a hopping downtown. At least for one night.

Adam the bawdy juggler
Posted by: walbritton
Video duration: 179 seconds
Among the characters you're bound to meet during the Renaissance festival season is Adam, who takes his stage persona of "the bawdy juggler" seriously. He tells politically incorrect jokes and plays with fire. He's not that bad at keeping balls and knives in the air, either.
This video was shot at Fresno City College's festival, which took place March 17-18.
