| Pepper "PEP" McGee TM is our current character out on tour. Our mascot characters are guaranteed to entertain your youngsters with a fun and educational program. We have something for everyone--churches, schools, libraries, businesses, non-profit groups, private venues, etc. All of our programs are KID FRIENDLY and MOTHER APPROVED. We design each and every one with the hopes that we reach every child and those children will become outstanding citizens in our community. Our show begins with one of our original animated storybooks being shown on our state of the art 84" by 84" projection screen. After the storybook, our character appears to entertain the children and share a positive message. Afterwards, the characters remain for hugs and high fives. The children LOVE them. Each year, we will sponsor a new character to help you with all of your educational or advertising needs. We have listed our various performance options below. Please call us, if you have any questions. |

| PROGRAMS |
Option One We will perform our Keep a PEP in Your Step program as many times as needed at your location in a single day for $10.00 per student. That price includes admission to the show and an official Pepper McGee (tm) t-shirt for each paid admission. A minimum of 60 is required for this performance option. These minimums may be negotiated, if we are performing at more than one location in your area on the same day. Sometimes, non-profit groups, businesses, and churches will also assist in providing our programs for your event at no cost and some centers come together for a program at one location. Check your local area for assistance. Note that any group that has over 100 paid tickets will receive 10% cash back as a thank you gift for allowing us to visit your location. Option Two If you would like to provide the show to the children at no charge, you may select the flat fee option. This is also the option used for festivals and fairs or other venues where the number of participants is not known in advance. Our current rate is $300.00 per performance within our travel area which includes most of North and South Carolina. That fee includes mileage and other expenses for one performance only. This option does not include merchandise for the children, but we will be glad to give away prizes for an additional fee. Just give us a call to see what we have in stock. We will also perform multiple times per day for an additional $50.00 per performance. Most of the time, overnight accommodations are not required. In the event that we are needed to perform in a location for two consecutive days or more at a great distance from our home office, the organization will be required to furnish hotel accommodations for each night needed. This is normally not required, but we will discuss this prior to booking a show. We will also need a parking pass that allows us to load and unload our equipment close to the performance area. For flat fee options, we will have our merchandise available for purchase on the day of the program. We will give the sponsoring organization 10% of all sales made on that day. |

| Please note that we make our services available to everyone in North and South Carolina, but we have to maintain our safety and the children's safety first. We reserve the right to refuse performance for any event that we feel is held in an unsafe area. We will also cancel or reschedule any outdoor events held during inclement weather conditions. A decision on Indoor events will be based on how severe the conditions are at the time of the event that might prevent us to drive safely to and from the location. If we do have to cancel the event, we will refund any advance payments made prior to that time. We will not be held responsible for any injuries beyond our control that might occur on your property as a result of hosting these events. You are responsible for the safety of our employees and all equipment used at these events. Please take precautions to ensure the safety of our characters and the equipment used by providing supervision of the performance areas. Thank you again for allowing us to be a part of your lives. We are so glad that you have been a part of ours. Remember to always Keep a PEP in your step! |
