Joey Otten is
Captain America |
The army creates many real life Superhero's but
my passion is what separates me from the rest.
One of my duties includes serving the real
Superhero's of today. I pour out my heart and
soul into the kids at the local Children's
hospital. They are the ones fighting daily
battles who need encouragement to stay brave and
keep fighting the fight.This Nation was founded
on one principle above all else: The requirement
that we stand up for what we believe, no matter
the odds or the consequences. When the Mob and
the Press and the whole world tell you to move,
your job is to plant yourself like a tree beside
the river of truth, and tell the whole world
"No, You Move" ........Captain America
Impersonator. |

Central Valley Horror Club
&
The Homicidal Homemaker |
The
Central Valley Horror Club is here
to unite existing fans of the horror genre, and
reach out to new ones while providing unique,
affordable and all-ages entertainment to the
entire Central Valley. We believe that enriching
our community by hosting offbeat events to
participate in is far more rewarding than
focusing on monetary gain. For these reasons, it
is extremely important to us that we keep our
events as low-cost as possible, if not free of
charge. We also strive to give attendees an
opportunity to explore a creative side of
themselves they may not have utilized before by
developing a costume and getting into character.b |
