-Jerry and Marilyn Hagaman of Burnsville MN (pictured right as Snafu and
Gingersnap) have been entertaining "kids" from six to sixty for over twenty
years, both as a ministry and with secular programs. They perform at churches,
Sunday school programs, rally days, vacation Bible schools, conventions,
camps and many other church or church related programs. Their secular
programs include schools, malls, fairs, picnics and even an occasional
wedding reception. They have presented programs all over Minnesota and
in many other parts of the U.S. Their most recent event was a two-week
program in Ukraine, reaching several hundred young people and adults in

for the past three years. They taught three Bible Camps for children and
older youth and performed at two community festivals which the churches
sponsor. It is a joy to see the smiles and laughter on faces that see
little to smile about. They sculpture balloons until their fingers ache.
