You have plenty of downtime to relax or pursue other activities. Most of our clients are fairs which are some of the nicest and relaxed people we have ever worked with. You will have free admission to the the venue and be able to enjoy it on breaks and after performing. Most of our customers are kids that are excited to see you and what the costume can do. We cater events all over the U.S., and occasionally internationally, so there is plenty of travel. We cover all hotels and travel expenses. This is a very simple job with good pay and low stress. It is a great opportunity for the right people. Thanks again for reading and I hope to meet you soon, - Drew
