Those who were able to go to ConVENTion, what was your greatest memory and why? Share them with the group.

Vent is synonymous with nightclub acts and TV, but also children’s entertainment. Outside of performing, vent in my experiences has been used to teach children about safety, anti-bullying, to preach religious lessons and in therapy to help people of all ages. What are some ways you’ve seen vent used in a non-performance way?

Check me out on “The Tom Barnard Show” where I talk about “250 Years of American Ventriloquism: How Ventriloquism Influenced American Culture” https://youtu.be/gAaYEZHAsOI?si=mp_juusH9txG2HJB

Hi everyone. Kirk Maynard here from Natural Bridges Puppets. I am returning to performing as a Ventriloquist after doing puppetry for many years. I'm still doing the puppetry but am putting together a 30-minute vent act with some of my characters. Amazing how I still have the talent and skills after all these years. Should be fun and an interesting addition to our current shows and services.

I am so looking forward to celebrating 50 years at the Ventriloquist Convention. I have not been at a convention for almost 20 years. I am always working but this year I asked the theater for the week off and believe it or not he said yes. So I leave for the airport in a few minutes. I will send you all a report and pictures. Talk to you all soon.
