Just wanted to send you a quick message to thank you, Carrie and of course Frankie!! It was a beautiful day for a backyard birthday party and what a beautiful pony we had to share it with. Carrie was wonderful as well – very friendly, patient and attentive. We’ll be sure to recommend Lionel’s to all our friends and family.

We have just returned from our party and everyone had a great time, especially our daughter Reegan! Mark took great care of us! Most of our guests had never been before and they were excited and talking about holding a party in the future! I know we had a gift certificate, I wanted to personally thank you and Mark for a great party! We will be recommending you to all our friends and family. We visit the petting zoo weekly and will keep putting our donations in the tin!

I wanted to thank both you and Blair for a wonderful day on Saturday. The kids have never experienced something like that and with your help they were able to. From listening to the parents I was informed that their kids could not stop talking about the day. It was an amazing day despite the weather. Betsy was also amazing with the help she provided. She is rather sweet. I liked her. Because of this experience I may bring just my kids and let them have fun just because. If you do anything special for Halloween or Christmas or just because, please make sure to include me. If you are doing anything that needs funds to be raised again, please let me know. I would be more than happy to participate
