"Words can not begin to describe the amazing experience that Allison and her associate were able to provide for our Meyzeek Middle School families last night. The smiles and the sounds were infectious! The photos from the event can’t do justice to the memories that the little ones were making last night. From our tiniest 4-year-old to our more advanced-in-age participants, a good time was had by all and I can’t thank you enough!"
