			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, I wish I had a dollar for every time I heard this comment from potential clients. I would start a retirement fund for clowns (just kidding). Jesting aside, please consider the following valuation.</p>
<p>Hiring a live entertainer will add energy and fun that nothing else will. I’ve been to very elegant events and many large, large parties. The food and friends were great, don’t get me wrong, but when a balloon entertainer, clown or magician walks in the room, there is a super-charge and pizzazz that you just can’t get any other way. My friends tell me that their kids talk about the clown or magician for years and years after the event, plus the photo opps when you hire a gifted balloon twister or face painter are truly priceless!</p>
<p>Think of it this way, for the price of a fancy date night with your significant other, a boutique haircut/color (ladies, you know what I’m talking about here) or the amount it costs to get your car detailed, you can hire a professional with talent who has devoted themselves to the art of humor, performance and celebration! You just can’t slap a clown outfit on Uncle Louie or have Aunt Alice face paint your guests and get the same impact (although admittedly Uncle Louie would be funny for about 5 minutes).</p>
<p>Most folks out there don’t know that our performers go to conventions or classes on a regular basis to improve their craft. They invest a considerable amount of time and money to develop their amazing skills. If you doubt me, check out this website: Westregionclowns.org– it will astound you!</p>
<p>Recently, my friend wanted to celebrate his wife’s birthday with their 2 kids at a simple dinner at the Hard Rock Cafe, and that bill was $100, without appetizers or dessert! When planning important life markers such as a 1st birthday with 100+ guests, 5%-10% of the whole party tab is a reasonable price for the performer who will have everyone delighted!</p>
<p>I’ve been in the entertainment biz for over 15 years and run thousands of events, and trust me that you don’t want to scrimp when it comes to providing variety entertainment!</p>
<p>That old adage still holds true: Ya get what ya pay for!<br />
