We love doing this for a living. Weddings are always an incredible time. But when you get to entertain people at a good friend’s surprise 50th birthday party, it’s a blast! Happy birthday, Jeff!

Last night we had the privilege of providing entertainment for the residents of Heritage Senior Living in Fort Wayne and their families. We had a great time playing Christmas music and having the residents and their families share their favorite Christmas memories, their EARLIEST Christmas memories, their favorite Christmas songs, Christmas foods and even some great Christmas trivia. And they even had a live reindeer!
Thank you, Heritage Park, for allowing us to participate in such a great celebration!

We had a fantastic time with Korte Does It All, Inc at their annual Christmas party last night! It was their first annual costume party and THAT was a smashing success. Cant wait to see how that escalates next year. 🙂
In addition, they danced and had a good time. So much so we had to kick them out! Rumor has it they continued at another location after their “official party” was done. This was my 3rd or 4th year with them and were looking forward to the next one! Merry Christmas to our friends at Korte Does It All, Inc.!
