YMCA Birthday Party had Entertainers like Airbrush Gypsy

There were several entertainers and activities at the YMCA Birthday Party this past May! Of course there was cake and the pool had too many children to count in it. Someone was twisting balloon animals with a line just as long as the one in front of the Airbrush Gypsy booth. Some little ones couldn't decide if they wanted a kitty, a rose,  a tribal design or one of the other over one hundred designs. Children were thrilled as they climbed into the chair to have their airbrush tattoo applied. More than one shared a story about their kitty at home or that they like fairies as they watched the airbrush spray it's magic. Several were amazed that they couldn't see the 'ink' come out. 'Just how does that work?' asked one child?

Parents picked out tattoo designs for themselves as well as their children. Others asked about having Airbrush Gypsy come to a kids birthday party or company picnic. They were told Airbrush Gypsy provides Temporary Airbrush Tattoos For Any Party! The question that was asked again and again was 'Can I get another one?' to which we were happy to say YES!

Company Picnic with Airbrush Tattoos for Employees

When Airbrush Gypsy arrived at the county fairgrounds for this company picnic the sky was dark and cloudy so our booth was moved. Everyone had a great time at this party! They were not lacking for entertainment as employee after employee got in line to get a temporary airbrush tattoo. Ages didn't matter as children, parents and grandparents waited. Each one walked away showing off their 'new ink' to anyone that got in their way!
It's too bad Mother Nature  didn't wait also, as it poured bucket after bucket so everyone left a little early. We are very excited about the possibility of being booked again next year for this event! Despite the rain just like the families that attended this family fun day, we had a blast!

Airbrush Gypsy at Ice Cream Social held in Richmond VA

What a great day it was for an Ice cream Social! The weather was warm and sunny! There was a great musician which I heard play a banjo. I wasn't able to hear his entire show but really enjoyed what I did get to listen to! The next time I got a chance to look there was someone riding a unicycle. I wish I had been able to watch his show as it looked very interesting! Of course there were other intriguing things to at this event which I didn't get a chance to look at.

At our booth we had children, teens, and adults getting a temporary airbrush tattoo. We applied several different designs but we were flattered by the children that sat in our chair, telling us about the last tattoo that they got from us! We hope to give them many more!

Chamber of Commerce Networking Review

Recently we attended a 'Breakfast Break' being hosted by a local Chamber of Commerce. These networking meetings are open to everyone and are free. It was held from 7:30 to 9 on a Tuesday morning. The description stated that each business would have 30 seconds to give a bio and estimated 80 to 100 people would be there so bring enough cards.

The room was set up with chairs in four groups, two on each side of the room, facing the middle of the room. We signed in and directed towards a side room with muffins, doughnuts, fruit and drinks. Business owners dressed in suits mingled quietly in groups of two or three. There were only four people not in business attire. Two were wearing matching white polo shirts from the same company and us, wearing purple tie-dye shirts. You could say we stuck out.

About 8 am they called order to start the meeting. There were so many people there that some stood on the sidelines.  Some of the businesses which I can think of right off the top of my head that attended many financial advisors, several realtors, one other entertainer besides us, a modeling agency, communications, an Undercoverwear consultant house painters, a Mommy Ezine, a restaurant, a bank, Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and Sam's Club. 

It was interesting learning about the businesses which I had no idea existed. Some were quiet and couldn't be heard. Others were funny which made it hard for the next person to follow with no humor. Still a few had brochures or catalogs which they thumbed thru as they gave their speech.

Did I walk away with business today? No. Did I make any contacts to enrich my business in the future? I think so. Will I go back next month? Definitely!

The trick is to do something in your 30 seconds which is memorable. Draw attention to yourself. Be different. Create a reason for as many of these business people to book you today!

Now I know what to expect at the next networking meeting and so do you!

Business Expo Review

In trying to find this expo we discovered that the signs were way too small and there were none on the main roads. The weather was awesome, plenty of parking with a much bigger crowd than I expected!
.
There were alpacas and a bounce house to greet you. Vendors with a table that I can think of right off hand would be as follows:
3 or 4 banks
2 newspapers
2 insurance companies
2 restaurants
2 tanning booths
2 chiropractors
coffee shop
printer
fudge shop
window blinds
house cleaning
Red Cross
Chamber of Commerce
building contractor
interior decorator
Boy Scouts
YMCA
dentist
winery
Radio Shack
home entertainment
fair
security
quilting
investments
radio station
and a band was playing.....
.
We met plenty of people with a couple showing an interest in airbrush tattoos. We got a much better response than I had expected since we didn't have a table at the show.
.
In my opinion this show has the potential to become much bigger than it is. However, There are three areas that I think could be improved upon. One, they would need a bigger venue. The main room was full of vendors. There were also vendors on a beautiful huge side porch that was big enough to have a vendor on each side with plenty of room for a walkway up the middle! The porch is longer than the building and did not lack a vendor to fill it. Two, the other thing this show needs is signs! More of them and bigger! There was one flyer posted in town that I saw. I saw no advertising in the newspaper or on TV. So, where did the crowd come from? There were more people there than at the last gig I did! Three, the last improvement they would need is lighting in the parking lot. When the expo ended it was dark with no lights in the parking lot at all! This made it difficult to find your car but also dangerous to walk to it.
.
Most every table was nicely skirted to the floor and had an assortment of fall decor including real mums! There were a few tables that were not skirted or manned, full of free brochures that I stopped the longest of all the people I saw to look at these tables. What does that tell you?
.
Each booth had a raffle to enter for a free something. Prizes ranged from gift cards from their company to gift cards from home depot and house cleaning. They allowed you to insert your business card instead of filling out each form. If you are thinking about getting a booth at an expo like this, it was expected for you to have a raffle for a door prize. I'm not sure if it is that way at every expo since I have never gone to one before. Another expectation is freebies! I wouldn't suggest pens. I would put some time, thought, and research into this in order to be different. I came home with more pens than I can wrap a fist around. However, I got one toothbrush, one change purse, and a goodie bag with tanning lotion, flip flop note pad, shot glass, and palm tree stir sticks! These are the businesses I will remember! If you go, how will you make sure the customer remembers you?

May 16th School Carnival

Airbrush Gypsy was found on May 16th at a school carnival! Children lined up for their Temporary Airbrush Tattoos. They were full of smiles and happy to find a favorite design. Some of the popular designs picked were orca whales, flowers, and flaming baseball or basketball. Several of the children could be heard giggling while the Airbrush Tattoo was being applied.
There were several other activities for the children to also enjoy but Airbrush Gypsy was so busy we didn't get to check out the other booths. One thing is for sure. Fun was had by one and all!

Kids Festival

Last weekend we had two shows. One was a Open House at a Day Care.  This was held inside and the kids loved getting airbrush tattoos!
The other was a Kids Fest. The weather was not the best being a little chilly and wet from an earlier rain then it started sprinkling and the wind picked up.
Both kids and adults waited in line to get an Airbrush Tattoo. Some getting several! There really wasn't one design that was the favorite. We did several butterflies and flowers.
There were plenty of other things to do including the inflatables, a petting zoo, a band, and several other booths that we didn't get to check out.
Even though the weather wasn't very nice both the kids and parents had a good time!

Promote Your Entertainment Business Tip ~ Signs

Awhile ago we got signs for our truck. We were very excited and not sure we would get any work from them. But getting work from them wasn't the only reason we got them. We got the signs to have a more professional look. Plus, we do private parties in homes that are secluded. People see the signs on the truck so they know it's us and they can feel more secure.

The fourth day we had them, our daughter drove the truck to work. A guy came into her office asking who had the truck with the Airbrush Tattoos signs?

A week later the phone rang. A lady inquired about a birthday party. After giving her all of the information I asked how she found us. She started laughing telling me about this truck going down the highway with Airbrush Tattoos signs that her family chased to get our name, number, and web site.

Another week another call that got our number from the signs.

The other night we stopped to get gas and the cashier started questioning us. Yes, I know I was bad and didn't have a business card in the truck but this guy didn't bat an eye. He just got out a piece of paper and wrote down our name, number, and web site!

Yesterday, our neighbor whom we haven't met yet, sent us an email inquiring about a birthday party for next Friday night. We got that job!

We have had 5 people take our information from those signs! That is 5 more than we would have had if we didn't have the signs. Not to mention one party so far!

Ashland Street Parties Hosted Library Fundraiser with Airbrush Gypsy!

One could find good food, music and entertainment at the library fundraiser hosted by Ashland Street Parties held this past May. The band provided just the right tunes to keep folks dancing the night away. When not dancing, those with children watched while the kids played on the inflatable slide and those of any age were found at the airbrush tattoo booth.

The weather was perfect for a party! Friends came to see each other once again at this fundraiser which is held three times a year. People also come looking for a favorite vendor to enjoy their services any chance they get. While waiting in line at Airbrush Gypsy Temporary Airbrush Tattoos booth someone talked about the airbrush tattoo that they got last year. Another asked a friend about having Airbrush Gypsy come to a birthday party that they were planning. Dragons, roses, skulls and butterflies as airbrush tattoos was reflected in smile after smile walking out of the booth.

We will be back for the next library fundraiser in July. Hope to see you there!

First May Event

May started out with Airbrush Gypsy in Goochland at the Spring Fling. The weather was beautiful with plenty of people enjoying the festivities! The line of guests waiting to get an airbrus tattoo never dwindled. OOs and ahhs were heard several times with even more smiles leaving our booth!

Interested in Test Driving a Real Tattoo?

People get Temporary Airbrush Tattoos (TATs) for several reasons. Most often the reason is just to have fun. But more and more people want to ‘try on a tattoo’ before getting a permanent tattoo. When one can’t decide what color is wanted Airbrush Tattoos give them a great opportunity to try a variety of colors with no pain or regrets. Airbrush Gypsy often gets requests for the same design in different colors. As you can see in the following religious tattoo one can achieve a different feel or mood just by using a variety of colors. Just like with real tattoos each airbrush tattoo is a custom one of a kind TAT.

.

.

.
 
The traditional black Jesus is a popular request as many remark how much it looks like a real tattoo.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Interesting results can be had with the same basic three colors, blue, white, and black as shown.

.

.

In the  first picture, white was used for the halo, blue was then evenly applied to the rest of the Jesus silhouette.

.

.

.

The next tattoo had white applied in a circular motion around the design with black on his face just to the edge of the Crown of Thorns. Then a light layer of blue around the edge of the crown and around the  tips of the designs. Adding just a hint of black at the points makes a dark blue.

.

.

.

White was applied first over the entire last blue religious airbrush design. The top of the stencil was very slightly moved to the left just enough to give a hint of white on the edge of the halo. Then blue was added in a circular motion covering the edges with black on the Jesus silhouette.

.

.

.

                                                                                              
                                                 

This temporary tattoo simply uses black and red. Where the colors are blended, a burgundy can be seen. This picture also shows that even a decent sized design can be beautifully applied to the neck.

.

.

.

Although the picture isn’t the best of this unique tat, it has enough detail to show another option. Again white was applied to the entire Jesus design. The stencil once again was also moved although slightly different than last time to leave white edging here and there. Do you see it at the edge of the Crown of Thorns? Red was then applied unevenly to the halo allowing an unusual red, pink and burgundy variation. Lastly, black evenly covered the face giving the owner a rare tat.

.

.

.

A custom temporary airbrush tattoo was made by piecing together two different designs. The chain of the necklace is from an arm wrap. Black was applied to Jesus with a yellow halo. Note… if white had been used before the yellow the yellow would have been a much brighter yellow rather than the golden yellow that is shown. Red and black were used for the ‘chain’.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

.

Granted the tones, hues and application of real tattoos are different. However, temporary airbrush tattoos do give many color options making it so more and more people are seeking local airbrush tattists to 'test drive' a tattoo first.

How to hire an Airbrush Tattoo Company

Over the last couple of weeks we have been booking alot of airbrush tattoo events. Grad nights, corporate parties, fundraisers, school events, bar&bat mitzvahs, birthday parties and more. One of the common questions, and understandably important is the cost for our services. People are shopping around, doing price comparisons and we understand this because we do it ourself.

When you hire a vendor to come into your home, school or business, you are trusting they will come early and get setup, they will have everything they need to provide their service, they will look and be professional, they will be fun and engaging with your friends, family and co-workers. You have a vision in your head of how much fun your guests are going to have and ultimately, you are putting alot of trust in the vendor to come through and make that happen.

In an honest effort to help everyone, whether they hire us today or not, I ask them to research the other airbrush tattoo companies in this area before hiring them. I have had many people tell me that they think all airbrush tattoo businesses are the same, that there is little to no difference from one and the other when in truth there can be and often are glaring differences.

Some of the questions I recommend you ask when looking to hire an airbrush tattoo business are:

1. Can they provide references? Be sure the references they provide are from actual people who have hired them and not friends or family members. I tell every person I talk with go to my http://www.flickr.com/photos/cnet2/sets/, choose any party and I will guarantee the person who hired us will give us a great reference.

2. How many stencil designs do they have? We have approximately 550 stencils to choose from and they appeal to everyone.

3. How many tattoo ink colors do they have? We have 7 primary colors and the ability to blend pink, purple and gray.

4. Are there hidden costs? Be sure the price you are quoted is all-inclusive.

Some other things to look for are:

Does this company have a website? If not, they are probably weekend festival people.
Is the website updated regularly?
How long have they been in business?
Who are their clients?
How many airbrush artists can they provide?
Do they arrive early to setup?

Hopefully some of this information will help you make the right choice when hiring an airbrush tattoo artist for your next event.

Pool Party Planning

Ahhh the summer pool party...the staple to summer fun! There are many things to keep in mind when throwing a pool party! You will want to have everything possible to make the best time for you and your friends and family. Just follow these simple ideas to create the best pool party imaginable!

1. Do you have a pool? Obviously if you are planning a pool party, you have a pool. The important thing, however, is to keep the size of your pool in mind before creating your guest list. Every pool has a maximum capacity, so keeping that in mind is important. Of course not everyone will be in the pool at the same time, so taking into consideration the size of your yard is important as well.
2. Pre Party Pool Care - When throwing a pool party you will want to have your pool sparkling clean when your guests arrive. To do so, it will be necessary to keep a tight cleaning schedule for your pool in the weeks prior to the party. Regular vacuuming, skimming, and treating will prevent any build up and discoloration of the water before your party. Not only will this make the pool look impressive, it will also make it more appealing to the guests to swim in. If you are new to owning a pool, consult an expert at your pool supplies store and they will provide you with all of the proper items to keep your pool sparkling clean!
3. Pool Toys - Pool toys could be one of the most important items at your pool party! Chances are if you have had a pool for sometime, you will have a good collection of toys. But at a pool party, it is important to have a variety of toys. Have some that appeal to the adults and some to the children. Consider smaller items like Squirt guns and diving items, such as rings, sticks, and eggs. These toys will keep children busy at all times! Also for the guests of all ages, consider a basketball hoop or volleyball net for the water. This will please adults and children alike!
   
   Flotation devices are always a must, especially for adults. There are a wide array of floating rafts. You can find inflatable rafts for as little as $3-5, but those do not always hold steady - they really end up being fun for the kids. There are more durable inflatables that may run you more in the $20-30 range, but they will be relaxing for the adults at the party. Also consider kick boards for the kids. They will have a blast flying around splashing behind one of them!
   
   Never forget to buy swimming noodles. These are the long foamish looking flotation devices! They can be used for a variety of activities and games! They are fun for all ages and can be found for only a few dollars at most stores!
   
   Having a few pairs of goggles and flippers is always fun for the kids as well....

Richmond City Wide Teen Night

There will be a party celebrating City Wide Teen Night at the Powhatan Community Center. The theme of the teen dance will be Brazilian Carnival. There will be a dance team and a jazz clarinetist performances. A fun filled night with Samba lessons, Brazilian presentation, tie dying, dance with a DJ and temporary airbrush tattoos!
The dance is from 6p-9p this Friday, April 4th at the Powhatan Community Center at 5051 Northhampton Street Richmond. Registration is required.
If you are a teen get registered, come see us and get an airbrush tattoo!

Airbrush Gypsy Entertained the Children at a School Carnival

Every teacher brought each classroom out to participate in the School Carnival this past spring just before 9 AM. Each child bubbled with enthusiasm while they anxiously waited for Airbrush Gypsy to open. We heard them trying to decide which design they wanted and what color. A truck, no an orca or maybe the teddy bear! Some asked if it would hurt, others wanted to know how it worked. Teachers explained how the airbrush tattoos were applied with the airbrush and the it would not hurt. It might even tickle! The children laughed and giggled in response. From the time Airbrush Gypsy opened until just after 1 PM child after child excitedly sat down to get 'inked'. More than one told the ladies applying the temporary tattoos that they had never had one before. Several had eyes the size of saucers when they saw their tattoo! All walked away with a smile! Airbrush Gypsy can't wait to go back next spring to do it all over again!

Fun Birthday Party Entertainment in Richmond, VA

The parents of one lucky birthday child went all out on party entertainment yesterday! There was an inflatable (which was almost as tall as the house), cotton candy, snow cones, temporary airbrush tattoos, someone giving pony rides, and those kids were getting wet somehow! This list does not even include the food that was being grilled!

More and more the birthday parties that I am hired for have at least the above mentioned types of entertainment. Other parties I have been at also have had a popcorn machine, slip and slide, bounce houses, a clown, face painter, a balloon animal twister, caricatures and a DJ.

It was a great party with lots of interactive things to do keeping kids and parents busy. Everyone had a blast! It was definitely the party to be at and will be talked about for years. Thank you for including Airbrush Gypsy!

Airbrush Gypsy Created Smiles at a School Carnival in Richmond

Children hurried to get in line for their temporary airbrush tattoo from Airbrush Gypsy at a school carnival in Richmond Virginia this past spring. They had several designs to pick from. This one wanted a dolphin and that one wanted a dino in their choice of colors. Smile after smile walked away! The airbrush tattoo specialists didn't have time for a breather while they were there. As soon as their chair was emptied another excited child quickly sat down waiting for their turn.
There were so many activities for the kids which Airbrush Gypsy did not get a chance to even start to look at.
Attendance was high.
Weather was just right.
Fun was the number one activity!

Airbrush Temporary Tattoos for Children

Airbrush tattoos for children are one of the easiest ways to provide children with temporary tattoos as well as face paint, as they can be easily applied to the skin, and quickly, to contend with the short attention span that most children have. Through the use of these temporary tattoos, children can easily have access to a variety of styles and designs, to those which are inspired by their favorite characters to those which are inspired by real tattoos that are placed on the body. Through the airbrushing methods that are used to create airbrush temporary tattoos, it can be simple to find a design which appeals to every child.

Where can you get the popular designs that come with airbrush tattoos? Some of the most popular places to get these designs are through fairs and festivals as well as other events which are designed for children. Through the use of these places, airbrush tattoos can often be drawn on to the skin for less than a few dollars. This is an effective way to get the art that you are looking for, for your child, as well as allow the child to choose the art which is designed on the body for less than a few dollars.

The tattoos are easy to remove at the end of the day, too. Most temporary tattoos that have been created with the use of an airbrush are created with easy to remove body paint and since the tattoo is being air brushed on to the body there is a very small amount of this paint that is required. As well as being easy to remove, the tattoo is not uncomfortable as the paint does not have to applied thick to create a thick and caked on to the skin, becoming cumbersome to the child.

Things To Do This Weekend in Virginia

Now that the Holiday events are over and we head towards Spring one might start looking in Richmond, VA for some free party time entertainment.

 

To begin your search for things to do this weekend, it is best to have these basic questions answered.

 

1) Are you looking for weekend events? 

2) Do you prefer a DJ to dance the night away or a would you rather listen to a live band in a club?

3) How about a fun, family oriented gathering appropriate for kids from toddlers to teens with temporary airbrush tattoos? 

4) Have a funny bone in need of a tickle? A comedy hypnotist will fill that request. 

5) Do the children like the twisted balloon animal sculptures, magic of clowns or magicians?

6) Perhaps watching a concert at your favorite venue will make you want to party like a rock star?

7) Does your child want to be on the rides at a fair or festival and visit the petting zoo to ride a pony?

8) Or would the little one rather play games, jump in the inflatable bounce house and get their face painted?

9)  Need to blow off some steam then laser tag or paint ball might be required.

10) Do you enjoy the thrill of racing go karts?

 

I have given you plenty of things to think about and decisions to make so we will continue this discussion in part two where this question will be answered....

 

After you know what your entertainment interests are, where do you look for these novelty performers?

Kite Day

We were blown away at the Kite Day event we attended this past weekend! The kites that the Richmond Air Force Kite Club have are awesome! Some of the amazing things they are able to do with the kites are: have the kite dance to the beat of the music, walk on the ground, and shadow a person as they walk across the field! The kites themselves were unbelievable! They had assorted shapes like a fish, a penguin, a guitar, intertwined circles, lady bugs, and even one that was woven with holes in it! We were very thankful that we were able to watch for a few moments!
The wind didn't stop the people, both children and adults, from taking off their jackets or pulling up a pant leg to get a temporary airbrush tattoo! The crowd stood against the wind waiting for their turn to get one of the several designs available. Some of the favorites of the day were the  lizard, rose, sun, grim reaper, and pixies!

A lady from an event we did two weeks ago showed up. While her daughter got an airbrush tattoo, we asked the mom how long the previous tattoo lasted. She said, ' it lasted forever!'

This was truly an eye opening show which we look forward to again next year!

Thank you to everyone that got temporary airbrush tattoos!

Tips for a successful children’s birthday party Highland Springs, Virginia!

Tips for a successful children’s party!

    1.     Plan ahead.  The children’s party entertainment industry  has peak seasons in the spring and in the fall.  Call upon your entertainer 4-6 weeks prior to your event date.

    2.    Schedule your entertainer to start at least 30 minutes after the set time on your invites.  This helps to ensure that all of your guests have arrived and will not miss the show.  In addition, consider putting “Entertainer starts at (time)” on your invites, letting your guests know that their prompt arrival is appreciated. The entertainer may need extra time to set up and get prepared. It will be easier and quicker for them to do so with no guests in the room.

    3.    In the summer months, consider having your party in the morning or afternoon when the sun is not high. For example you may want to have a party from 11am to 1pm with your entertainer from 11:30am to 12:30pm, OR a 10am to Noon party and your entertainer in at 10:30am to 11:30 am.   Great afternoon times for a party are after 3pm. It will be cooler for both the guests and the entertainment. This is also important for any animals that may be in the petting zoo.

    4.    Airbrush Gypsy Entertainment designs our entertainment for parties with 20 or less children.  Parties are designed to include temporary airbrush tattoos, face painting or art projects including airbrush t-shirts, tie dye t-shirts, balloon twisting, plaster crafting (kind of like ceramics but easier), and concrete stepping stones which are a seasonal activity.  We strive to give you the most for your money in an hour and we are known for our high quality service.  If you will have more than 20 children at your party, booking additional time to ensure that your entertainer can finish on time is recommended.

    5.    Bounce houses can be a great complement to having any entertainer.  Inflatables can also hurt the quality of your show as any entertainer will always compete with the bounce house unless you have specifically designed your event for many people and with many things going on, such as in a carnival setting.    For a small home party consider deflating your bounce house during the short time of your entertainers visit, or helping your entertainer round up the children so they may start their routine.

    6.    It is always easier for the children to get in a line from youngest to oldest while waiting for their turn to at each activity your entertainer is providing for them as the little ones have a harder time waiting in line.

    7.    It is always a good rule of thumb to keep an eye on the weather forecast as your gets closer.  In the days before the party as you get a better idea of the weather discuss with your entertainer the options should you have an outside party and there is a need to move the party indoors or reschedule.
    8.    If you choose to have a mascot character look-a-like entertainer visit, be sure to follow them back out to help them down steps, steep inclines and out of the site of the children who may be trying to follow  etc.   Mascots are very hot to wear so your entertainer will be anxious to remove the cute furry costume upon returning to their car but wouldn’t want to ruin the surprise if any little ones follow them out.

    9.    If planning on having your childs party at their daycare or school, be sure to discuss options with the childcare director. Ask about appropriate times to have an entertainer visit.  It is important not to interfere with nap times and lunch, etc.

    10.     HAVE FUN!   Kids parties aren’t just for kids.   Encourage adults and family members to dance, laugh and have fun too!

Temporary Tattoos: Henna vs Airbrush

This is not another blog to warn about how dangerous black henna temporary tats are but instead to share an article which tells why temporary airbrush tattoos are becoming more popular than henna. It is interesting that even in the country that is known for henna that airbrush tattoos are quickly replacing tradition.

Kids Expo Review

Kids Expo Review

---

Airbrush Gypsy attended the Kids Expo. We provided temporary airbrush tattoos for one and all! Each child walked away from our booth with a huge smile and a great tattoo!

No signs were seen in route to the show, although several places on the internet advertised. A bulletin board had also been displayed for the expo. Huge signs at the venue to make it easy to find. A big parking lot allowed for plenty of free parking.

Although there was a winter weather advisory the day before and chilly the morning of the show, attendees stood in line waiting to get in the door.

It was very interesting to see the variety of businesses that cater to our children! There were several summer camps, a dentist, chiropractors, the Childrens' Hospital, Marriott Resorts, day care, the band Fun Bus, the Sheriff, the fire department, online directories, college savings plan, a radio station, a petting zoo, a couple of indoor inflatable companies, etc. Overall about 200 companies!

I did not see face painters, clowns, magicians or a balloon artist, nor did I get any contact information for these types of businesses.

Some businesses gave away pens, balloons, xylophones, brochures magnets and were raffling off prizes.

There were plenty of activities for children, not only at the main stage, but also at many booths.

The staff was very friendly and organized! I don’t think there was abad booth space there. The owner of the promoter business even stopped by the one time we were not busy to check on us. Although it was nice to get a break for a moment, it was even nicer that someone took notice and was concerned.

I found the crowd to be interesting, to say the least. I was amazed by the number of what appeared to be single dads with their kids and asking about birthday parties. I have never had so many men inquiring before.

One thousand seven hundred forty five of our brochures were given out. Thirty seven people gave us their phone number to call them. We had fifty two customers leave an email address to contact them. Contact information for all of the businesses that attended was also provided!

We had several businesses approach us about coming to their venue to apply tats for them! Even more parents inquired about birthday party prices!

Overall, I can not think of a thing that this promoter could do to improve this show!

We look forward to doing this show again next year and have already asked about any other shows that this promoter does. She went out of her way to make sure that we could have the best show possible!

Daughter and Daddy Dance Presented by Fluvanna Virginia Parks and Rec

Airbrush Gypsy has the honor to entertain a very special occassion... A Valentine Dance!

We are so excited because this is not your normal romantic dance for couples. This dance is meant to develope precious memories between a father and daughter.

As a Daddy's girl there is nothing more important than getting to spend time with Dad. Just the two of you. To be the center of Daddy's attention for the entire evening is a priceless treasured memory.

As a father you look for any chance you can find to spend quaility time with your little girl that all too soon will not be a little girl any more. To have a night together with no TV, video games or phone is unthinkable, after all the world might come to an end without modern gadgets that teens can't live without.

At a family fun event like the Valentine Dance both father and daughter get a healthy dose of laughter and special memories. They get a chance to spend time with each other. Who knows they might even learn something new about each other!

One of the popular activities Airbrush Gypsy sees many guests do is to pick out an airbrush tattoo for each others. No mater if it's girls picking tats for the boys or boys are the ones doing the picking they seem to pick the silliest tat they can find. It makes for a great laugh and is often not forgotten. Thank heaven the tattoos are temporary!

Another popular game that friends love to do is get matching airbrush tattoos. A sweet bonding moment has been created reinforcing a stronger relationship than the one they walked into the dance with.

Airbrush Gypsy looks forward to building fun family memories with everyone attending the Fluvanna Daughter and Daddy Dance on February 11th from 6-9 pm. Be sure to sign up today!
