A lively and uplifting cheer for 2024! 2023 is no more. A duo added classy ambience at a NYE party.

The Perfect Trio

"Sentimental Journey" was "The Perfect Trio" at a Hayward assisted living home's Winter Ball.  With a repertoire including "It's a Wonderful Life" by Louis Armstrong, "Route 66" made famous by Nat King Cole, to the Andrew Sisters "Bei Mir Bist Du Shein." And, to top it all off, Lisa's funny rendition of Jingle Bells.

 

                                              Quick, Call the Fire Department

Don't even think  of singing that popular Christmas carol, "Chestnuts Roasting on an open Fire." Why?  The Grinch would put a damper by calling the fire department. The Grinch was a surprise performer at a 160-person party at a Livermore winery. Joining the Grinch was a strolling magician and a DJ. Partygoers decorated their own Ginger Bread and Christmas cookies, adding a cherished keepsake to the afternoon festivities.

Jump Rope Anyone?

Jumping rope was not in the Magician's tool box. The children did enjoy the magic show early Saturday morning at a San Francisco Bay Area shopping center. #serramonteshopping center

Fortune Sticks not Chopsticks

Fortune Sticks, tarot cards, and palm reading were in full array at a Danville, CA VIP. Some partygoers were amazed when a Chinese fortune teller told them that their marriages were thriving, and; that their personalities were in harmony. Partygoers danced to Earth, Wind, and Fire and patiently waited in line for their fortunes. #crowcanyoncountryclub

The Scarecrow gets a new Life

The Scarecrow was the perfect character for Halloween at a San Francisco Bay Area shopping center.  An improvisational actor posed for photos next to pumpkins, spider webs, witches, and goblins.

 

 Celebration of the Living

Dia de Los Muertos, Day of the Dead, is a celebration of death being part of life. A Bay Area mall celebrated this lively holiday with an eight piece Mariachi and colorful Mexican folk dancers.
