First State Bank Minnesota's Farm & Home Show, Mora, MN
Chris,
    Everyone is talking this morning about what a fantastic job you did Saturday.  It was definitely the hit of the Farm & Home Show!  I've heard nothing but endless praise about what a wonderful job you did and how great the pictures turned out.  Thanks for staying that extra hour, too.  Gerald Payne, our president, and I have discussed possibly hiring you to come for our annual Customer Appreciation Day in September.  As soon as I know a date and a little further information I will be in touch so we can see if you are available.  Again, thanks for doing such a wonderful job.

Northwestern Technical College's Snow Fest, Wausau, WI
Chris,
    First, glad to see you made it home safely.  The caricatures were a big hit.  I'm seeing them posted at workstations all over.  We genuinely enjoyed working with you and hope to do so again.  You were very easy to work with and I appreciate your flexibility.  Thanks again.
-Shawn P. Sullivan

Minnehaha Academy's Sadie Hawkins Dance, Minneapolis, MN
Chris,    
    You're the best.  Caricatures are the highlight of the evening for these kids.  They will look forward to them every year.  If you want to pencil us in for next year, it should be the same weekend, and I'm assuming the same place.  If you think of it sometime in the near future, send me some business cards.  I have told so many people about your work.  I'd love to see you get some more business through Minnehaha.  Have a great year.
-Terri Bergstrom

First Bank & Trust's Summer Picnic, Menomonie, WI
Dear Chris,
    Thank you for the entertainment last night.  The entire staff enjoyed the pictures that you did.  Everyone that I've talked to today has said that this was the best party we've ever had and I think that the credit should go to you.  Thanks again Chris for filling in at the last minute and staying to be sure everyone was able to get a drawing done.  I would highly recommend you to anyone that is looking for unique, quality entertainment.
Thank you again.
