Mike Carrell is a veteran school show presenter for Mobile Ed Productions. Originally from Oklahoma, Mike is a very friendly, funny and gregarious fellow with a wonderful happy outlook on life. He has worked in the field of school assemblies for many years and has worked all over the country. He is one of our presenters for our Earth Balloon assembly “The Earth Dome” and also  brings our television production assembly “Lights Camera Action” into schools.

After many years of working for us in a different parts of the United States, Mike recently returned to the Midwest and has been very happy. He has performed in several states this last month including Illinois, Indiana and, primarily, Ohio.

He called a couple of days ago and asked me “Geoff, where do you find these schools?!?” Apparently he has been blown away in recent days by how nice, warm and caring he has found the staff and students of Midwest schools to be. According to Mike they are totally involved and extremely charming! Particularly those in Ohio, apparently.

Now we send presenters to perform live school shows in schools all over the country, from California to New Jersey, and we have wonderful customers in every state. Our performers regularly find great teachers and kids in schools everywhere we go. So this is not in any way meant as a slap at any other part of the United States.

We love our schools, clients and kids all over the country. Mike is just not used to our particular “down to Earth” friendliness found here in the heart of the country. But he will be able to grow accustomed to it shortly! Next year we have switched some tours around and Mike will be performing almost all year in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and other parts of the Midwest.

Now if you are not in Ohio and feel that Mike is wrong and that the nicest schools are in your home state, well, by all means, let me know! Tell me why you think your state is the nicest. We would love to hear from you! Better still, schedule one of our great school shows to come and visit you and you can show us!

Meantime, welcome home, Mike!
