I am constantly searching for new Marshall figures and sometimes when they appear you had better be ready or you will miss them.

The figures from the Ventriloquist Central Collection that I have offered for sale are great examples of figure makers and would be a great figure for anyone else’s collection or performer for that matter. I pride my collection for being a high quality collection.

I know many folks like to wait until the very last day to make plans to do things not just a ventriloquist event, but with the Ventriloquist Central Birthday Bash quickly approaching I must tell you that the last time the hotel sold out and the late comers had to find lodging elsewhere and the closest hotel to the Hyatt Place in Medford is about 7 miles away.

October in the Boston area is one of the best times of the year and hotels fill up fast. Leaf peepers come from all over the globe to be here at this time. So that being said I am imploring you to sign up now for the Ventriloquist Central Birthday Bash and also book your hotel room right away.

This is going to be another great time and you really don’t want to miss out on the fun!!
