Grand OpeningWe had Jim come out to help us with our Grand Opening this past weekend in Portsmouth, and we had a lot of fun! He made fantastic balloons, and was good with the kids and the adults. Would be great for birthday parties or kids nights! Wish we had seen some of his other talents!

Response from JZK Family Shows:
Colby Baker is the manager at O.L. Frozen Yogurt in beautiful
Portsmouth,NH. The staff were so happy and the patrons were very
complimentary! I had a great time.
