We have a couple here in Baraboo who were professional clowns with
Ringling Brothers and worked at the Circus World Museum. They now have
"real" jobs (kids will do that to you) but have a side business called
Funnybones. They teach kids how to be clowns, how to play the kazoo and
jaws harp and how to do things like mime, clown, juggle etc. I talked to
them about historic games and they asked right away about what period
you were trying to portray - good sign. They would be very happy to talk
to you about what games you want and what you want to do. Their names
are Greg and Karen DeSanto and their business phone is 608-356-2937.
They have a couple of websites www.funnybonesproductions.com and
www.gregandkarendesanto.com
They are great people to work with.

Dear Listserv members,
The Crandon community has begun planning for its 2009 centennial. We
are interested in offering old-fashioned children's games during our
celebration weekend. While we could very likely come up with many games
ourselves, we are interested in finding out if there are any businesses
that offer this type of entertainment. It might be much easier to hire
this task out versus finding volunteers to manage the games. Do any of
you have any tips, suggestions and/or contacts for this type of service?
Thanks in advance,
