Nov 06 - Hometown Heroes

Members of I.B.M. Ring #170 - The Bev Bergeron Ring, Ring #258 - The Lake County Magic Club and Central Florida World Clown Alley #158, combined forces to entertain over 1500 attendees at Habitat for Humanity's Hometown Heroes event at the T.D. Waterhouse Center on Wednesday evening October 25th.
The theme for the evening was "The Magic of Habitat". The table decor was black, white and red with black and white magician's top hats as center pieces.
Magicians from both Rings, including J.C. Hyatt, Nicholas Tangredi, Mark Fitzgerald, Bill Terry, Jim Moody & Lee Langer, worked the tables, doing close up magic, from 6:00 to 9:00 PM. While Joe Veccarelli, James Songster and Roger Reid performed "stand up" magic on a small platform in front of the large crowd that gathered.
The Central Florida World Clowns provided both balloon sculpting and face painting in relays over the 3 hours of the event. Balloon sculpting duties were performed by Snickerdoodle, Diamond Jim, Handy Dandy, Charity, Candy Cane, and Twist. Face painting was done by Jingles, Kluts, Jackie, Pinkey, Toot, Tapper, Sasha, Bon Bon, Zaney and Glee.
All Magicians and Clowns were treated to dinner provided by
Outback Steakhouse, and received a "Magic of Habitat" T-Shirt, from event chairperson Denise Chernoff, as a "Thank You" for volunteering.
