Juliet Jeske is a wonderful clown with lots of experience gently entertaining the preschool set. She has done three parties for me, two as clowns and one as Sleeping Beauty. A very silly Sleeping Beauty. In all cases, the little ones were completely enthralled.

Stable of caricature artists. They have a minimum of 3 hours on weekends and a 2 hour minimum on weekdays. The main caricature artist, Frank DiGregorio has been drawing caricatures at events of all types since 1990. His other credits include animation work on feature films such as Lion King, Pocahontas, Lilo & Stitch, Brother Bear and more.

I worked with Frank on two occasions for parties. He is obviously talented (take a look at his website), but is also very humorous, affable and enjoyable. He worked with both adults and children and made both sets pleased with both his conversation and pictures. I would highly recommend him.
