"Magic Bob: “It was great to see you again and have you perform. Everyone at the CPFD told me that it would be difficult to entertain and contain so many children for the given time period as I began planning the Christmas/Holiday party. Little did they know that I had a little magic up my sleeve and I knew to contact you for the event. I know all the adults were amazed at how entertained and focused the children were on your show. Since then, all the members of the department have been telling me how well it went. That includes people that did not even attend. I guess word got out. Once again, you did an absolutely fantastic job entertaining both the children and the adults in the room. Seeing the smiles and the wonderment on the kids’ faces was a great gift to all. Thank you for making our 2010 Holiday Party at the Carle Place Fire Department a successful one. All the best to you. Have a great New Year. I’m sure we’ll talk again in the near future."
