Bubble Trouble At Birthday Bash

Children’s Entertainer, Ron Wood of Jolly Good Productions, had bubble trouble at a birthday bash today. The party took place at Scorton Village Hall near Richmond, North Yorkshire. The Magic And Bubble Show had gone really well with lots of fun and games until the grand finale where Ron puts every child inside a giant bubble. At first the bubbles wouldn’t form and disaster loomed. Ron thought that the extremely low temperatures had affected the secret mixture he uses to make the bubbles. Fortunately the mix stabalized and all of the very excited children were able to have a turn which meant the party ended on a high note after all.
