Clowns & Balloon Sculptors

We have great clowns that offer a wide variety of balloon sculptures.  Items range from simple to elaborate depending on the size of your group.  They can even add a 30-minute magic show to the act.  These clowns are a hit at parties with a lot of kids.
 
Disc Jockeys
Disc Jockeys provide the music and entertainment needed to get guests up and on their feet.  Our DJs have the right mix of music for guests of all ages and can tailor the music to your theme.  We have several DJ’s that double as square dance callers and can teach both square dancing and line dancing.
 

Live Bands

We have several great locations for a live band.  The upstairs of the barn, with its rustic feel, is the ideal place for a country themed party.  The tented patio near the house is another great setting for a band with the patio serving as an outdoor dance floor.  Lets not forget the gazebo.  With enough seating for 200 it is a great place for a small concert.
