Some things naturally go together like peanut butter and jelly; cake and birthdays, and magic(ians) and Halloween! Magic is a natural because it started out as Trick or Treat (trick is in the phrase kids all say while dressing up in costumes on the hunt for free candy.) Who doesn't remember dressing up and trying to bob for apples, eating candy corn, or trying to win the best costume at your school Halloween party?:) Witches and Warlocks create magic so the symbol of magic is a big part of the fun for those of us just looking for candy and… Read More...
It’s 2021 Yay! How did you like my trick of making 2020 disappear:) We do not know how long till things go back to normal (or the new normal)? For a while zoom, google meets, etc.… are here to keep us connecting and communicating together. The challenge is making the get togethers interesting again over the IT platforms; virtual entertainment/customized education is a terrific way to spice up a ho hum zoom gatherings. Families want to have some fun again, and entertainment has always been a great avenue for destressing people! What about celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, wedding events, holiday gatherings,… Read More...
Jan-March is the time of the year that cub scouts, Webelo's, & boy scouts all celebrate and hold their award banquet know as a Blue & Gold Banquet.

Once a year around the months of February & March scout dens and packs celebrate their awards and achievements that individual scouts have earned by completing goals for each badge. It's a great time to see what other scouts are doing, share stories, and perhaps get involved to help your child and others learn different activities, games, and fun times. There is no better way to celebrate than to have a magician come in and add to the festivities! Families share their potluck dinners, scouts are running around the gym, church, etc...

Wedding vendors and professionals come in different shapes and sizes (experience, pricing, knowledge, etc..) One of the most important vendors you can hire is your photographer! Why, because its the memories solidified in a form (a picture) that captures those special moments; the looks, the fun, and something you'll want to remember for the rest of your lives. I interviewed one of Maine's top photographers and hopefully asked some good questions you'd want them to answer for you. Why should someone hire you & Nadra over other photographers? The people who hire us again and again are the ones who… Read More...
Holiday Parties are a terrific way to thank co-workers and clients for their hard work and business throughout the year.

Maybe having many different appetitizers is one creative way to go. Having the catererer offer some sample menus; maybe steak, chicken, and fish are offered but to jazz it up different dipping sauces are whipped up. Location, location, location…a glamorous banquet facility, or creative spin like a museum (antique… Read More...
