Thank you for visiting my Professor Laffmoore site. I have added hyper-links to some of the festivals I have entertained at during the last year or two.

You are welcome to click on any wording that is a different color (other than quotes) and be magically transported to the home page of that particular event.

I hope you enjoy the color and festivities as much as I do.

I would love to know who is visiting my site. Wont you please leave me a message upon your visit? Just click the item on the top of the page which says “Contact The Professor” and I will reply.

The autumn edition of FaerieWorlds was a most exceptional festival.  We had a very fine day to perform and observe.  Everyone was in a grand mood.  We listened to some very good performers who entertained crowds of folks.

I put on some interesting majic shows while Heidi, my newly acquired companion made good use of my balloon pump.

Here is what Heidi had to say about FaerieWorld,

“FaerieWorlds is a wonderful festival that I had the supreme pleasure of participating in. The folk were friendly, and very colorful, characters.
The children were all very interested in Neverland, and of course the Proff. Laffmoore who enchanted them with majic and free balloons 🙂 and the young ones weren’t the only ones interested either!”

(You can read this in “comments” as well.)

 

Here’s a copy of the letter I sent to the organizer of
RootStalkFest, Marshé Townsend at Mountain Rose Herbs:

It is with great pleasure I write this little note.

I’m quite sure you are exhausted after the long ordeal of Root Stalk this past weekend.  I would like to congratulate you and your dedicated crew for offering a fine camping and educational experience for all the folks who attended.

For myself, I cannot begin to express my delight in having the opportunity to entertain all those wonderful children.  You may be aware this venue was not my normal forte, but it turned out very well in the end.  I’m only sorry I was not more prepared for the condition.  I would have brought a children’s book to read to them if I had known the conditions I would be entertaining under.

This does not preclude my enjoyment and the enjoyment of the youngsters who attended.

Thank you for affording me the opportunity to increase my skills while entertaining all those lovely children.  I would do it again for you in a heartbeat.

Your humble entertainer,

Professor Laffmoore

Hi Professor Laffmoore,

Many thanks to you for all of your involvement at Rootstalk.  You were absolutely amazing and a life-saver for our little ones!  We had children’s activities planned and they were cancelled at the very last minute because of a chicken-pox out-break.  I really appreciate how you stepped right up and the children LOVED you.  So again, thank you, thank you, thank you!

We appreciate your presence and support for Cascadia Wildlands

Cheers,

Marshé

Oregon Country Fair… What can I say about the Oregon Country Fair that hasn’t already been said?  It’s the largest draw for this type of event in the State.

My reason for attending the OCF is to assure that as many young people as possible leave the fair with at least something, even if it’s only a balloon on a string.  And that’s exactly what I offer.  I, or one of my two assistants Russ and Nichole, spent
