Here's what an event organizer said: ... Aaron was great. He interacted really nicely with the kids, the volunteers, and everyone else he came in contact with. ... everyone loved having him. ... Aaron was an especially pleasant surprise. His makeup and costume looked fabulous, and his interaction with the volunteers was hilarious. ... I would definitely recommend him to anyone else and will request him specifically for any of my future events!
