Sherry Tennyson- American Canyon Family Resource Center says:
"What a treat for families!!! Abby and the Pipsqueaks is a wonderful show for families; it's entertaining and interactive. The children enjoyed the music and dancing and the parents had a great afternoon sharing the fun and excitement (and watching their children go "wild" and dance to the music). Truly, this show has all the elements of being a four star event and guarantees that parents and their children can experience special quality time together"
