You can see it in their faces—the concentration, the fascination, the satisfied smiles. You can hear it in their laughter, the “Wows!” the shouts of “I did it!” You can almost feel it in the air—the creative beat, the playful hum, the busy buzz of activity spreading out around the fairgrounds...

“WIN,WIN,WIN! That's what we got when we contracted with the Toy Workshop. Rick was very professional, organized and creative which made it a dream to work with him. The sponsors and their employees loved presenting the activity, the families attending loved the activity — What more could you ask for??” - Robin H. Kelley, Director of Festivals Issaquah Salmon Days Festival "Rick's toy making activities are hugely popular with both kids and their parents... His area is the first one the children target coming through the gates and the last one for them to be pulled away from at the day's end. If you are serious about providing a fun-filled, educational and interactive experience for young people - you can't do better than Rick Hartman." -Chris Clarke Vice President Customer & Corporate Communications, Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Mississippi Read more testimonials...
