I am lucky enough to perform as a Christmas Elf named Elfina (what can I say my parents didn't have a lot of imagination!) and I perform Thursdays and Fridays at Kids Market. Today at the last show, I needed an interpreter. The audience were mainly Spanish speaking. students out on a scavenger hunt. They had just missed the 2 pm show and the leader asked if they could come back for a show. I started 15 minutes early to accommodate them.
In amongst these 12-15 year old Spanish speaking group of about 22 kids plus supervisors, were 2 young English kids and their mom. The little girl had left her sunglasses at the show. So they came back to find them and couldn't. Typical of the Kid's Market customer care, management was down helping find these $2 sun glasses. I came out to see if I as Elfina the Magical Elf could help. I couldn't. The sun glasses were no where to be seen. So it was Kids Market Christmas colouring books and reindeer antlers to help ease the pain for them. Then I offered to pose for pictures with them but they didn't have a camera so (again customer service) ToyBox Studios (www.toybox-studio.com) took the picture on their incredible professional camera even emailing it to them. I reaped the benefits of all the extra care they received . I got the hugs and then the kids crawled onto my lap for the photo and the mom just kept saying it was their second time to Granville Island and what a time they were having. They were from Victoria...I think they'll be moving to Vancouver soon!!!
