September 29, 2024Another Great Event!
This is the second time we’ve had Darrell at the Walk to End Alzheimer’s and he always does a great job. The kids love him and he’s a wonderful addition to our event.

September 16, 2024Ok
He was an hour late to the event. He had called twice, the first time saying he would be 30 mins late and did not have a large stock of balloons, then he called again and said he would be 45-60 mins late. The face painting and balloon items painted/made were very basic with little to no detail. We were not impressed.

Darrell and his crew did a great job. The kids loved him and there were always lots of people in line anxiously awaiting their face painting or balloon designs. The price was reasonable, as well.
