Rich arrived early, set up and even started a few minutes early for some anxious guests at my daughter’s grad party. Kids and adults loved it and were sharing their pictures with everyone. My daughter said Rich was engaging with her and her friends. It added a little something extra to the party and now everyone has a keepsake.
