I had 11 shows this weekend and still somehow found the energy to watch some football tonight. ![]()
I wanted to give ya a heads up that September is completely booked and I only have 4 spots left in October so give me a call in the next day or two if you want one of the remaining October spots. Thanks and I hope you all had a great weekend. 🤩😎
I had a blast performing at lots of camps this summer, and this fall/winter, I’ll be bringing my Frosty show to lots of schools so let your child’s school know they can call to check availability. Thanks
