Entertaining since 1988<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Joy is serious work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Sparkles the Clown & Co. began entertaining in 1988. Since then, Sparkles has brought shows and hands-on fun to birthday parties, preschools, schools, libraries, churches, company gatherings, and community events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her goal has always been bigger than filling a schedule: create an experience that feels welcoming, age-appropriate, organized, and memorable for the people in the room. That means listening before the event, reading the audience during it, and treating every host with care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From an intimate family celebration to a library audience\u2014or even a stage in Dubai\u2014Sparkles brings the same combination of playfulness and preparation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
