What Others Say
“We have had Granpa at our event for many, many years. Kids who saw and loved Granpa many years ago are now bringing their kids to enjoy Granpa. People come back again and again to see their favorite old timer yet the shows remain fresh because Granpa changes his show theme, lesson and jokes every year. He’s here to stay!”
Sheboygan County Fair, Plymouth, Wisconsin - Lois Schrieber
“Granpa is fabulous! Both kids and adults get a kick out of his old truck as he drives around our grounds. We have had him several years now and the Granpa staff is always reliable and professional. I would recommend him to anyone who needs a live show on their grounds.”
Southwest Florida and Lee County Fair - Alta Mosley
“Granpa’s Crop Duster Biplane was a huge hit at our air show. Both kids and adults got a kick out of Granpa’s crazy airline jokes as well as all the special effects on his air plane. He makes a great spokesman for your advertising and an excellent greeter at the main gate.”
Galesburg Air Show - Denny Johnston
“Granpa was a big hit at our event. He comes completely self contained with everything you need to put on both a big stage show and a strolling act, all rolled into one. He was also a huge hit with the local media. He made appearances on talk radio, made commercials for us, appeared on live TV shows from early morning to late night. The media coverage he helped us generate alone was worth the price.”

South East Missouri Fair – Cameron Mitchell
“Granpa Cratchet has been a part of the Howard County Fair’s lineup of entertainment for nearly twenty years now and he just keeps getting better. The crowds remain strong as kids are now bringing their kids back to meet the Granpa they came to know and love at our fair. Every year Granpa comes up with a new show theme and a new lesson to teach the kids that parents love. He also changes his mobiles every year to keep the show fresh and interesting while people come back again and again to see a character they love.”
Howard County Fair – Jay Freeman
“Granpa is a huge hit at our fair so we keep brining him back again and again and the crowds just keep growing. Granpa visits many Day Care Centers as part of our publicity and he’s always a big hit in our parade. One year he went through the whole parade five times. That has to be a record!”
