October 21, 2019He Comes from the North Pole...Really!
When we first saw Santa as he arrived, we felt like we should look for the sleigh and reindeer as he looked liked he just arrived from the North Pole. It was immediately obvious that he loves what he does, loves children, and wanted to make this a special visit for everyone he visited with.
He was patient, caring, funny, and was the picture perfect Santa Claus...everything you could possibly want. He handed out presents, posed for photos with everyone, read stories, and answered lots of questions from the kids.
We are so happy to have found this Santa, and would never think of using anyone else.

October 21, 2019Everyone Loved this Santa
We hired this Santa for a major fundraising event. We've been holding this event for many years, but he was by far the best Santa Claus we ever had. I've received so many compliments on his authenticity and how great he was with the children. I'm still receiving compliments to this day, and am constantly being asked if he'll be back this year. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a great Santa Claus.

About
In the tradition of the high seas, Captain Kidd Carson is a fun-loving, rascally scallywag. Hailed as one of the best Pirate performers, he has been seen at many Pirate Fests and Renaissance Faires from coast to coast. His garb is authentic, to augment the true character of the man within. He enjoys pillaging, plundering, and scaring the daylights out of the living. So you best be watchin’ yer step! But, he can also be family-friendly and above board when the need calls for it. At Christmastime, he also portrays a Pirate Santa.
A born entertainer, pitch man and emcee, Carson is available for all pirate-themed events and hosting gigs. His sense of humor, great timing and patter is sure to entertain and draw a crowd. He also has years of on-camera and on-mic experience. He would make a great addition at a corporate event or convention booth, private party or event, festival, or children’s party. How about a Pirate Wedding? The Captain is an ordained minister and can legally perform most any type of ceremony you wish, provide assistance with vows, and any other needs you may have. Captain Kidd Carson brings his “Piratude” to any event!
In 2020, Captain Kidd Carson was elected into the esteemed Order of Leviathan, and in 2021 was also an Inductee into the International Pirate Hall of Fame.
