Characters of Character

Thank you to everyone who entered our contest to win a signed copy of 'Dangerous Summer Tour' by Bobby Long!  The winner was Marnie from WI! 

Thank you for your continued support & check back soon for new blog updates!  We'll be posting details on what characters will be coming to the Lisle 'Eyes in the Skies' event July 3-4th.

We've been lucky enough to receive a signed copy of 'Dangerous Summer Tour' by Bobby Long.  First, I need to give another huge 'thanks' to Eric, Bobby's tour manager, who got the album signed for us.  (Characters of Character is in no way affiliated with Bobby Long.)

Here are the contest details (we reserve the right to change the rules at any time):
-The contest ends June 9th.  All donations must be submitted by June 9th at midnight.  The winner will be picked and announced on June 10th
-Entering is simple.  For every $1 donation your name will be entered one time.  You can donate as much as you'd like and there is no limit on how many times your name will be entered. (For example, a $1 donation gives you one entry.  A $10 donation gives you ten entries)
-Donations can be made through our website.  Paypal should ask for all of your information (email, name and address) but if for any reason it does not prompt you to do so please email Jenny with your information right away with the amount of your donation and your name.  After we receive your donation you will be emailed a confirmation with the amount of times your name will be entered
-ONE winner will be chosen.  You do NOT need to be located in the US to enter/win.

Your donations will help us raise funds for a new vehicle so that we are able to travel across the US with our characters & visit various communities.  We are also working towards opening a facility where children and their families can come to learn more about character.  We will encourage parents to bring their children (most likely once a week) to discuss a character trait and do an art activity to go along with that trait.  As all of our characters are now in costume we also plan to have the children create their very own play which they can perform for their family & friends in the community.  Older children/teenagers will be encouraged to become mentors to the children that visit our facility.  We are currently looking for a location in the Chicago-land area where we can establish a relationship with the surrounding communities. 

Have questions?  Contact Jenny!  For more information on Bobby Long please visit his website

Thank you for your support & we look forward to picking a winner on June 10th!

Last night I ventured off to the Bobby Long show in Dekalb, Illinois.  I will say, it was quite the adventure.  I need to give a VERY SPECIAL thank you to Bobby's tour manager Eric!  If it weren't for him we would have never been able to get the album signed.

In the next few weeks we will have details available on how you could win an autographed copy of 'Dangerous Summer Tour' by Bobby Long!  Out of all three albums that were available this was the one that Eric recommended so I'm taking his word on it being good. :)  You can listen to a little bit of Bobby's music here.

We hope that you enjoyed our very first Character Corner!  Was there anything we should add or change about it?  Do you have suggestions for us?  Leave us a comment here or use our contact form on the site and let us know!  Later today I will be introducing Self-Esteem Elephant on the Character Corner so don't forget to come back and check that out.
Thank you again for your support!
