Track #2 Pediatric, Nursing Home & Veteran Clowning: Ron Anglin & Barb Field  – Taneycomo (Circus)
Hospital clowning is an interdisciplinary art that involves a wide variety of skills, such as humor, drama, music, and dance, and has a notable beneficial and therapeutic impact on patients. The main aim is to distract patients during the preoperative period and during medical procedures, induce positive emotions, and decrease negative emotions in order to demystify medicine and help in the healing process.

 Track #3 Balloon Decor with Kornpop and Chris Burton – The Club (Big Top)
 In this class, we will be thinking outside the box, using both classic and organic styles to build décor that compliments the conference theme. You will learn sizing, technique and even some tricks of the trade. We will go through what you will need to start your décor business and how to attract clients. 

Track #4 Face Painting for Fun & Profit with Hope Holmes & Kandi Saylor-Lundeen Remington – Crystal Hall (Center Ring)
Proven designs for both birthday parties and line work. We’ll be starting with fundamentals and ending with pizazz. We will review the proper tools, hygiene, product, and technique. There will be a business class for those who wish to generate income. Bring your kit and be prepared to paint. If you do not have a kit, we will have a small sample kit available for an additional fee.
