Earl is one of the top Santa's in the DFW area. He remains in character from the moment he steps into the venue. His repertoire of Santa anecdotes never ends. He tells stories, leads guests in Christmas carols, poses for photo ops, and leaves everyone feeling like "the real Santa" was truly there. He was featured in Christmas print advertising for American Airlines in 2001. "Santa Earl needs no improvement. He had the attention of all children and a story for each one . . . He can bring all the children's attention to him, and most of all a smile to my little boy's face. I will use Santa Earl again next year." - Carol Altay "Our evening brought back childhood thoughts of Christmas time." - Susan Pitts Ready to invite Santa Earl? It's easy! |

| Reindeer - The Magic Of The Holidays on 4 Feet! | ||||||||||||||||
Reindeer are almost mythical creatures, endowed with the power of glowing noses and the gift of flight! They are gentle, grazing animals, larger than many people realize, and to meet one is a timeless memory. The effect is powerful on children, who of course know Rudolph, yet adults will stop, put aside their hectic schedules, and smile. Funny Business can provide you with live reindeer for your event, to transform your celebration into a lifetime memory. We can also have a Santa in a sleigh for a photograph to commemorate the event. How many years will people show that picture, when they got to see and touch a real reindeer? When you want to make the biggest, long last impact, call on the magic of reindeer! |
