Carnivals & Curiosities
Circus performers, clowns, etc.
Backyard Carnival
Flemingsburg, KY / Fleming
“We rented a bouncy house for our Literacy Fair. Lucas was amazing to work with! He delivered and set up the bouncy house. He went over all the rules and safety instructions and then came back to take it down at the end of the event. He was so polite and helpful. I highly recommend him and his company. Check out the website because there are a lot of different things to rent for all ages.” –Sandy Florence, Pendleton County Public Library
Cambo the Clown
Lexington, KY / Fayette
“Cambo was an excellent performer for our Summer Reading finale. He was especially good with the younger children but the older children found him funny as well. I thought he was extremely kind to various children and every child got a balloon animal especially made for them. He was very professional, very courteous, very funny, and enjoyable to work with. We highly recommend Cambo.” –Kathy Goode, Casey County Public Library
Daniel's Fun Foam Factory
Henderson County
“We enjoyed having Daniel's foam factory at our Summer Reading Kick-Off in 2025! They gave us prompt and clear communication, and allowed us to adjust times to meet our event needs. Kids absolutely loved it, and it was a great tool to pull people through the whole event!" –Alexis Erskine, Warren County Public Library
Fossi Lou Balloons
Louisville, KY
“FossiLou provides an engaging program for children of all ages. She has also provided our library system with classes where she shows folks how to create their own balloon creations. When we recently re-opened a branch after a major renovation, FossiLou was on our “must have” performers list for our opening Family Fun Day event. She cheerfully made balloons for close to 100 children, teens and adults.” –Stephanie Carter, Louisville Free Public Library
Fun for All Clowns
Cincinnati, OH
“We have hired Judy for the last 2 years. She does a fabulous job with face painting and balloon twisting. She does full face painting. It is wonderful!” – Sandy Florence, Pendleton County Public Library

Kentucky Bigfoot
Prospect, KY / Jefferson and Oldham
“Charlie Raymond is the founder of the Kentucky Bigfoot Research Organization. He has been investigating Bigfoot for over 20 years and has been featured on Animal Planet, History Channel, and BBC. Charlie was very professional. He had a PowerPoint explaining the history of Bigfoot, scientific explanations, videos of testimonials, and sound samples. He tailored the presentation to our area, but touched on some other areas. He took questions and mostly avoided conspiracy theories. He also enjoyed hearing stories from the audience.” –Stacy Tiller, Spencer County Public Library
Tom Sparough
"Tom Sparough is a very talented juggler." -Patti Sallee, McCracken County Public Library
Cincinnati, OH
Troy Roark
New London, MO
“Juggler and comedian, very professional, and the kids love his high-energy shows. His outdoor water program is a favorite at our library!” –Pam Whelan, McCracken County Public Library
What the Foam
Fayette Co., KY
“What The Foam was a great company to work with. They are located in Fayette County, and are willing to drive to other locations. They were super polite and friendly, and really wanted the kids to have a great time! They gave us the option of playing music from one of our devices or using their device. (We let them choose the music; we figured they had a good playlist.) They didn’t rush off and stayed to let the foam run out, which meant we got a few minutes of bonus time! This year we are working with the FRYSC from the public schools, and they were able to bill both entities separately. (We covered the initial cost, and the FRYSCs are taking care of the extra hour.) We look forward to having them back!” –Rachael Lynch, Marion County Public Library
