Get ready to ride with Slim & Curly, the biggest little cowboys in the Old West.

WHIMSICAL WISH WAGON
With a robust imagination paired with a solid understanding of the power of positive thinking, Penelope “edu-tains” children (ages 4-104) with her Seussian style and her Faery flair. Her whimsical ways and amazing association of acronyms keep both children and adults entertained as she educates on Feeding Faeries (positive thinking), Starving Goblins (negative thinking) and how to get WiSHes to come true (manifestation). (WiSH = What is Stated, Happens!)
With Penelope comes a magical recycled art structure called the “Whimsical WiSH Wagon”. Inside the WiSH Wagon it is certain you’ll find, magical things of more than one kind. If you read the walls, it will teach you what to do to get your best WiSHes to come true. “Kids”, of all ages, enjoy finding Faeries in the Faery Habitat, stating three things they love about themselves in the Magic Mirror and whispering their WiSH into the Wishing Portal. It’s an enlightening experience for the whole family!
