The Big Round-Up program, featuring ventriloquist Wayne Bertness and his "dummy", Randy.

Families/children in the area will have the opportunity __(date)__at_(time)_to see 
excellent, live ventriloquism, and experience the high-energy storytelling of Wayne Bertness,
from Abbotsford, BC, Canada. He and his sidekick, Randy, have delighted audiences all over 
the US, Canada, England and Africa for 24 years. Their program is both entertaining and informative, 
riveting the attention of all from 4 to 104 years of age (or more)!

The Bertness Family (4 kids and parents) all traveled together in a bus motorhome for 10
years, recording 6 music tapes and a video before those kids left for college and their own lives. 
The current touring group, if everyone comes, is Wayne, his wife Suzanne, and their youngest son, Tim. 
Suzanne does the music and black light chalk art and she and Tim both do puppets and ballooning.

Currently they still use the bus motorhome for longer road trips. Since it has a basement, it is a 
little unusual and they offer tours of the bus for those who attend every night.

There is no charge for the program, held at _____(place)____, but
an offering may be taken to help with expenses.
