I was so pleased this year at the conVENTion because the Executive Director of the conVENTion , Mark Wade, invited Steve and me to dinner one evening where in a relaxed setting we were able to chat at great length about all aspects of the ConVENTion and ventriloquism in general.
I felt very pleased because Mark told Steve and me that we are part of the family because of all we have done for the ConVENTion. I told Mark that for us it was a must to bring as much about the ConVENTion to those that are unable to attend so they can see and hear what is transpiring.
Ventriloquist Central is where everything that is vent can be found and that means we must provide the information as it happens. Mark thanked us more than once.
Believe me this was a real treat being able to dine with Mark and I just want to thank him again.

Dan;
Mark is a great guy, a gentleman and always ready to help. He has been running the conVENTion for many years and deserves many thanks from all of us. By the way if you get a chance, add captions to the conVENTion photo’s, I recognize many of the more famous vents, Jeff Dunham, Dan Horn, Todd Oliver, but there are many that I am sure I know by name and don’t know their face. Just a suggestion.
