My daughter and her friends had a blast with Captain Whitebeard! We were very pleased with all the balloons he created. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a balloon twister.

Santa Claus:
Hi, my name is Santa Rich, I am a real bearded professional Santa Claus. For the past five years I have had the pleasure of getting to spend some quality time with countless Chicago area children and have heard their Christmas wishes and got to take the beloved Christmas photos with them.
I recently moved down to Millstadt, IL and I hope to continue portraying Santa Claus for the children in the area. I am professionally trained at both the Professional Santa Claus School of Denver and the Santa Claus Conservatory. I have my own copy of The Night before Christmas, my own Santa Claus suit, a magic Santa bag that either I can fill (for an added price) or you can provide special toys to be given to all the good boys and girls. I have a clean background check and I am insured. I am currently working on learning ASL and I am also fluent in Spanish. I am available for Parades, meet and greets, photo sessions and home visits.
Balloon Twisting Performance:
An area for children to gather safely, depending on your event type most of my needs that a client would have to provide is crowd control.
It would be nice to have a shelter for a shady area for hot summer events or rainy days, during the cold months indoors would definitely be appreciated.
For events that have lines a person to help close the line, one 1/2 hour before your event ends would be a great help.
Santa Claus Performance:
A comfortable chair is a top priority for Santa, along with a clear and well lite background followed by a knowledgeable assistant to help get the children through a Santa visit without a hitch.
