Ventriloquism, puppetry and illusions are just a regular day on the job for Jillybean and Emmaus Road Community Church is bringing her to Laramie for Freedom Has A Birthday. Jillybean will have two shows on stages in Washington Park on Independence Day and there will be free balloon animals at the Emmaus booth.

"She's a great talent and has a great touch with children and families through the use of her ventriloquism and illusions," said Directional Leader and Pastor Brad Eakins about Jillybean. "She has a wonderful patriotic message for our community."

Jillybean has over 25 years of experience as an international performer and has been a proud Wyoming resident for almost ten years. She will perform in the Bandshell at 11 AM and then on the East Stage at 12:30 PM. When she's not on stage she'll be mingling with children of all ages at the booth for Emmaus and helping hand out free balloon animals.

Emmaus Road Community Church is a missional community in Laramie that is dedicated to developing and sending disciples of Jesus. They meet every Sunday at 4:45 PM in Suite 107 on the corner of 4th and Reynolds. Their church offices are located at 721 1/2 Renshaw St.
