The zany Mark Wood Fun Show is coming to Kid's Day today at the Wood Festival from 9-12.
Cowboy Mark Wood loves to make people laugh and he has been doing it for a
very long time. Mark started entertaining audiences when he was just eight years
old and has been in show business now for more than 37 years.
During his stage shows, Mark delights audiences with his crazy comedy, magic,
juggling and lots of audience participation. And when strolling, he does lots of
balloon sculpturing and some rope spinning.
Wood started his show business career in the third grade and taught
himself magic from books at the Jackson City Library. He was soon a
performing magician. A few years later, Mark combined the magic and
clowning into "Marko," a magical clown character. Mark still describes himself
as a clown, only "without the makeup."
Then in 1993, he combined his magic, clowning, juggling and balloon
sculpturing into a new act with a western theme, the Mark Wood Fun Show.
He is a full-time professional entertainer, and has been featured on many
television shows and now travels extensively throughout the Midwest.
He
performs at schools, libraries, county fairs, festivals, malls and corporate events.
Mark and his wife Deanna and son Clay, live near Jackson, Ohio.
The festival's "Kid Day" will have several other events and games, including prizes.
