I had the pleasure of performing at the
Lake Eden Arts Festival last Friday and Saturday. I worked Friday at the Toy Boat Circus Workshop stage leading a Mime-Clown workshop. It was well attended and the kids were awesome. I started with tug of war and ended an hour later with a line of children waiting to try the classic pants drop and hat fetch routine. Just amazing smiles and laughter.
On Saturday I performed a magic, juggling and fire eating show at the Roots Stage and juggled in the parade.

The crew and dozens of families caught a break from the wet weather for a fun morning of entertainment and egg hunting on March 23rd. The clouds and cold couldn’t stop the excitement of the Annual Easter Egg Hunt by Black Mountain Parks and Rec.

Papa Elf met so many wonderful kids and families this weekend in Atlanta! Lenox Square Mall was the stage for a magical memory maker in so many ways. I spent most of my time around Santa’s set but also made the rounds through the entire mall once and the food court twice. Interacting with hundreds of kids and seeing their amazement and joy and the appreciation of the parents is truly a delightful part of life. Especially for an Elf! We only get to come down from The North Pole for a few weeks a year. Very refreshing and great way to get an Elf in the mood to finish those toys!
So to all the kids I met this weekend, Merry Christmas! I’ll be back again on Saturday and Sunday to close out the season before I head back to the shop for final prep so come see me if you can! We will also be doing a television special at 9:00 am on Saturday for CBS Atlanta. The ELF TV skit was planned for this past weekend but has been moved to 12/22.
An Elf, two jesters, a fire eating magician and a palm reader

We had a busy weekend with a variety of characters in Asheville and Black Mountain. We had a nice time breaking out of Elf mode temporarily on Friday night by providing entertainment for the Allergy Partners annual Holiday party at the Doubletree in Asheville. We started the evening with me juggling fire as a jester outside, greeting people as they arrived. While they congregated, Tash read palms for an hour and had a nice long line. Very well received. After an hour, I changed into the Great Zukini and did table magic and fire eating while Michael juggled as a jester.
Saturday, Papa Elf walked the Black Mountain Christmas parade while juggling. I had some great moments running while juggling to catch up to my place in the parade after I had paused to juggle for kids up close. Following the parade I provided the entertainment at a wonderful event called Circle of Lights which features luminaries surrounding a beautiful little lake.
Next weekend it’s off to Atlanta’s Lenox Square Mall! We have exciting news about CBS Atlanta news coverage so stay tuned.

Papa Elf and Lee the Elf were the final act ahead of Santa at the Old Fort Christmas Parade this afternoon. Lee and I have worked several parades through the years. The parade was well attended and we had a great time. Thanks so much to Pat Piercy, the Parade Marshall, for having us.
While we were in Old Fort, Dipsy the Elf was performing at Biltmore Village’s annual Dickens Festival. Papa Elf will be there tomorrow from 1:30 -3:30.
The picture below is Papa and Dipsy meeting up after the shows to plan more mischief.

Wow what a great way to kick off Elf Season! I had the privilege of being the final act ahead of Santa at the Asheville Holiday Parade this afternoon and had the best time! John Coutlakis of the Asheville Citizen Times caught me here. This seems like a perfect “add your own caption” picture to me. “Elf shocked that he can juggle”.
Happy Holidays!
