Pizza Clown Challenge A Success!

On February 18, 2006, the Inn at Pima in Scottsdale, Arizona (USA) was the place for the first annual Pizza Clown Challenge!  The event raised almost $1000 for the S.M.I.L.E. Organization!

Eight Pizza restaurants in Scottsdale donated pizza and families did a taste testing for their favorite pizza.  While the scores were being checked, S.M.I.L.E. performers Stella Stamper, Safety Sadie the Poetry Lady, Jerry Quarles, Little Billy and Scooter performed a fantastic safety show!

In the end, everyone was a winner!  Participants had a great meal and saw a fantastic show.  Be on the look out next year for the second annual event!

Axtell Expressions has added Orangutan and Gorilla Puppets to it's line of incredible looking Ape Puppets!   These are available in the Professional Latex Apes size (32") for $399, and the Vinyl Amazing Apes in three sizes: Small (19") for $39.95, Medium (24") for $69.95, and Large (32") for $149.95!

The Professional Latex Chimp puppet has been a favorite of both Mark Ruffennach (Flower the Chimp) and Bruce Wall (Louie the Monkey) of the S.M.I.L.E. Organization since 1998.

When Axtell introduced the medium size 24" chimp in 1999, it sold out at that year's S.M.I.L.E. Conference in 2 hours!
