Patriotic Patty - one of a kind entertainment

Hurray for the USA - excellent for schools, Scouts, and libraries!
Celebrate the USA with this wonderful show featuring puppets Uncle Sam, Keisha and Elmer. Rich with many patriotic symbols, this program shares history of our flag, the Statue of Liberty and the American eagle. There are lots of laughs as young Keisha tries to learn a patriotic song. As 3-year olds often do, she confuses the words adding some of her own which keeps the audience smiling and laughing. At the end of the show, while singing The Star Spangled Banner, an American flag magically appears while a shower of red, white and blue confetti bursts over the audience. With songs like God Bless America, storytelling, magical effects, puppets and ventriloquism, there is something for everyone in this show! Your heart will burst with pride at this celebration of our magnificent country.

Let Freedom Ring© - great for mixed age groups, ages 6 and up!
This interactive program - with hand bells - is a chance for the audience to share the pride they feel for the United States. There is comedy, there are puppets (like Uncle Sam), and there is patriotic magic - with the special touch of hand bells, played by the audience! With only 2 minutes of instruction, the audience will learn to play bells and perform a beautiful patriotic song as the grand finale of this show.

The Liberty Bells© - ideal for large venues and multi-hour events!
You've listened to the beautiful music of bell choirs at churches. How stirring to fill the air of your festival or event with patriotic bell music - especially when your guests are the musicians! The Liberty Bells is a come & go show for people strolling through an event. Guests are invited to join Patty and ring the bells for songs such as Yankee Doodle, Battle Hymn of the Republic, America the Beautiful, You're A Grand Old Flag, God Bless America and The Star Spangled Banner. On average, people will spend 10 minutes with The Liberty Bells show. This program entertains a large number of people during the day. Adults enjoy this as much as the kids. You will frequently hear adults say 'that was fun!' Patriotic Patty takes only a couple of minutes to train her audience to play the songs along with her visual music cards. Your guests will know when they should ring and when they shouldn't, allowing them to make beautiful music instantly! Powerful, emotional reactions come from having The Liberty Bells or Let Freedom Ring show at your event!

People just love the 4th of July. You see beautiful flags waving everywhere you look. Men wear ties with flag designs and at events, there are all kinds of red, white, and blue outfits. Face paint can add another dimension to your celebration. Our designs are pretty - our painters are highly skilled - and we have several patriotic designs. We keep them topical, and pretty enough for girls and ladies. They'll be proud to show their patriotic spirit with face paint designs from one of our painters!
