Hi,
I am looking or a face painter that would be willing to donate their time to a tax exempt organization in Hanford. We can provide them with the paperwork so they can write off their costs on their taxes. The event is October 23rd
I was hoping someone could help me find some reasonable people such as a face painter,Elmo or any other fun things for my daughters 2nd birthday. I was wanting to know reviews on the above list I got a face painter and clown off this list for her first birthday they were reasonable but had horrible personality’s the kids did not notice but all he parents did so I was hoping someone could help me with good entertainers that are not outrageous. if so please email me at calimonroe10@hotmail.com thank you very much.
Monique alexander
Monique, I can personally recommend Todd the Snake man…my son’s 6yr old snake themed party was AWESOME because of Todd and his snakes. Todd is just a terrific educator and his snakes were fascinating and calm and drew in even the most squeamish. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! You can read all about the party here: http://fresnofamily.com/a-snake-birthday/
And if anyone has any personal comments on any of the above businesses or entertainers, please leave your comments here.
Any places where we could rent a room and do our own food?
Excellent question! I really don’t know. It seems like I remember hearing that Bounce U has a package that allows you to bring your own food…but you’ll have to check with them. There’s always the option of reserving a table at a local city park. I’ve seen lots of people do that at Oso de Oro in particular. And its free!
