August, 2017

  Just a quick thank you for your terrific performances for our Oak Park library kids.  It was so fun to watch them get up and participate with you, and the parents were having a good time too.  You are always performing at 100% every time, and I love that we can always  count on your professionalism and your enthusiasm.  Susan

Miss Jo Ho—

   LOVED IT!  Miss Rhonda, Trinity Lutheran Preschool       2012



Thanks  Jo – that was the best birthday party.  You did a fabulous job.  The  kids were so engaged and really enjoyed the whole thing.  It is quite the buzz.  The children of the superintendent of our school district were there (the boy was the lion and the girl was one of your winkies)  and their mom stayed and watched it and she is a teacher in Louisburg.   They were very impressed as was everyone.

Thank you again – you are wonderful,

Allyson James

Thank you for a wonderful selection of programs this summer and for helping us kick off our summer right!

  Much appreciated, Chris Koppenhaver
