On Saturday night we always have the big professionals show.  These performers are usually seasoned performers with years of experience under their belts.<\/p>\n<p>This year was the exception.  The level of polish was as high as always, but in the case of one very gifted young lady the age was on the low side.  We were blessed with the performance of Darcy Lynne.  unfortunately, we were not able to video her performance due to the rules of the ConVENTion, but we do have a video of her using her puppet &#8220;Edna Doorknocker&#8221; at a venue in Oklahoma.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Also we got a couple of shots of Darcy playing at our booth on Friday night.  Enjoy.<\/p>\n<p>(The puppet used in the video is one that Darcy got from The Dummy Shoppe last year.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VC4P8gjMkOo\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VC4P8gjMkOo\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"500\" allowfullscreen=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=VC4P8gjMkOo\"><\/a><\/iframe><\/a><\/p>\n<p>That is all for this week,<\/p>\n<p>Steve and JET<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just got home from VHC late last Sunday and took a couple of days to rest up.
