Just a friendly reminder that the deadline for the Early Bird registration
discount is almost here, August 25, 2009. There are some seats left so hurry
and send your registration & payment in before the deadline and get both days
for only $90.00. Once all the seats are full, registration will be closed, so
don't be left out! Remember there will be a all inclusive jam on
Friday, Sept., 25th from 5:00pm to 9:00pm. Hope to see all you face
painters, clowns, balloon twisters and grand storytellers there...
Some have asked why a face painter would want to attend this convention. Well,
to make yourself more marketable of course. How many gigs have you passed up
because the client asks for a face painting clown, or an additional activity
such as storytelling, a magic show or balloon animals. Christmas time is
around the corner and many locations are looking for a Santa & Mrs Claus to
entertain families. If you can do it, they will hire you!
