120 Days till Christmas!!! Asking Santa to be able to go to The Kapital Kidvention again!!! This is the hands down best convention in the area for Children's Entertainers. This year they are having a Claus Track!!! This will be directed by Genma Stringer Homes and looks to be some stellar training. There is also a magician track, balloon artist track, face painters track, puppetry track, clowning track and nightly jam sessions to learn from the best in our industries. Check out Fans of Kapital Kidvention to check out photos and stories of folks who have loved this convention. Drop me a line if you would like to talk about it. Deal Day is Sept 14th and those of us who go, watch this day like we use to watch the Jerry Lewis Telethon.
