2011 Ventriloquist ConVENTion

This year’s ConVENTion was a Jimmy Nelson Celebration. The group photo featured Jimmy, front and center, with his figure Danny O’Day. His wife Betty, to the right holds Farfel. If you don’t remember Jimmy, perhaps this Youtube clip will help.

In honor of Jimmy Nelson, the former Building #4 was renamed the Jimmy Nelson building.  As if Number Four was a good name anyway.
