[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Private birthday parties is where these people make their real money...  and have better access to the kids. This guy was very touchy with the kids with lots of hugging.
Public performances is how they market themselves for the private events. [/quote]Not true. These mall and public events pay a lot to have performers there.  I have a friend that worked for the marketing department at Potomac mills and they would pay their performers in the 400 dollar range. 
     I have another friend that was a librarian at a branch in Rockville and they would pay anywhere from 300 to 500 for performers.  These shows are usually free to the public, but are paying their performers well. [/quote]
I doubt Rockville Library ever paid $500.00 for any kids entertainment. That’s totally crazy. Public libraries never have that kind of funding.[/quote]

Some performers do the public events for free since it's great advertising for them. I know we've found birthday party performers that way.

The libraries in MoCo do have a budget for events, some funded by the separate non-profit (Friends of the Library) that has more flexibility on spending. It's plausible that performers did get paid to perform at a library.[/quote]We have all found our bday entertainers at these shows, if we see someone real good. Have you ever mingled with the staff at any of the shows?  I have. The shows are free to public, but the performers are crushing it.  One person told me that not all entertainers are same rate, though. 
    Having been to a number of shows, I agree that  nobody should hug the kids. I saw one performer at Dolly Madison library a year ago and after the show, saw a kid rush to hug entertainer, the guy put both hands straight up in the air, as kid went to hug him. A few of us, laughed about it. [/quote]
