When we last met, I had just shown you pictures of “Rocky”, Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady’s ventriloquist figure after his traveling mishap (if you missed the blog, click here).

As you should know (if you’re a regular reader of my blog), Miss Arkansas, Alyse Eady had a traveling mishap with ventriloquist figure “Rocky” (if you’ve missed the story behind this you can check out one of my previous blogs here: http://stevehurstwebsite.com/miss-arkansas-and-ventriloquist-alyse-eady-to-use-charlie-dawg/ )

Now I didn’t want to teach kids in school. I wanted to teach to those who [...]

July was a busy month for me. The biggest event of the month was the Vent Haven ConVENTion that was held on the 14th – 17th. This is the yearly get together for ventriloquists. It’s always a lot of fun.
