Double the fun! The hang glider can hold multiple elves! All the aircrafts I offer can accommodate multiple elves, actually. The hot hang glider, air balloon or helicopter has capacity to accommodate 2-3 elves with ease. I’m still accepting orders! Just send me a message!

The Hilliard Tree Lighting last night was magical! Due to the chilly temperatures, we were fortunate to get to twist INSIDE where I met Joe the bartender who received this festive backpack at the end of the evening. 🎄

So many cute kids waited for their balloons to be made by Dean Bohl, Renee and Andrew with Pretty as a Princess Party, and me. Didn’t get any pics of that fun, but I can assure you there were lots of smiles! Hope your Thanksgiving was full of family and gratitude and now bring on the rest of the holiday season! 🦃

Mark your calendars for a special holiday magic show with Sedgie the Hedgie 🦔:
🪄 Gahanna Library on 12/6 at 7pm
🪄 Southeast Branch of CML on 12/10 at 11am
🪄 Dublin Library on 12/21 at 10am

And Benny’s Pizza 🍕 will be a great destination for custom balloons on Tuesday evenings! Live music with Mark Reinhart on 12/10 and 12/11! I might even sing with him a little! 🎶

As this week rounds a corner into the weekend, I’m grateful for three school visits this week to share the magic of reading. Children are just the best…their laughter, their yes-and mentality, their quick instinct to solve problems, their trusting nature, and their empathetic calm around Sedgie the Hedgie. And the teachers who continue to love, forgive, remind, giggle, and inspire - thank you. I adore my job. Thank you to Columbus City Schools and cheshireelementarypto for having me visit your schools this week! 📚 🪄 🦔

Sedgie took his role as a pirate hedgehog seriously and turned his toilet paper roll into a spyglass after our show at the Miller Park Library this morning. The audience was the CUTEST bunch of mateys, and they were so sweet and gentle when meeting Sedgie after the show. Mark your calendars for our next show there on January 24th at 10:30; Miller Park Library is in Upper Arlington and worth a visit even when Sedgie and I aren’t performing!

30/10/2024

I had a blast twisting balloons next to Mr. E (Eric Nassau) at the Hilliard Halloween Haunt on Saturday. His kid-friendly tunes kept the little ones’ toes tapping and everyone interacting. He even wore a balloon Brutus shoulder rider to the game after the event. Way to bring f the fun, Mr. E!

Thanks to Destination Hilliard and all the businesses and community members for making it a super fun event!

We had a great time twisting spooky balloons at the Halloween on the Green event last night! SO many cute costumes! Thanks for having us, City of Worthington! 🎃🎈🦇🧹👻🧙‍♀️

The Performer’s Showcase at the Way Public Library (Perrysburg, Oh) was worth the over 2 hour drive (one way!)! So many kind librarians, talented performers, and book love in one space! I forgot to take any pictures while inside except for one of Professor Tony! He’s got mad skills and can balance a jenga game on his chin! Oh! And check out magicnate’s and my flyer for The Magic Duel that is available for summer bookings!

Good things await! I can feel it!
