Description
*** IMPORTANT UPDATE, 10/20/2010 ***
Santa-Ricky thanks his many clients and fans, but he now has many scheduling hindrances as he invites LONG-TERM Major Event scheduling. At this time, Ricky's last minute Santa availabilities are only on a LOCAL (OHIO) real-time, urgent basis. He has little freedom to book advance "Christmas Season" events other than "Today or Tomorrow, in real time, locally", and only when he IS in town. Ricky has taken on a variety of cross country appearance clients; some dates not yet announced to Ricky himself till "day before event". If those restrictions still offer you a way for Ricky to perhaps step in where you have a last minute performer cancellation or sickness, he might be able to assist you! *** IMPORTANT UPDATE, 10/20/2010 ***

For your booking consideration: Santa-Ricky's talent career consists of Travels WORLDwide; wherever the great work is! Will refer you to video samples of his work after client's first contact with him. Doesn't receive '10 stars' only because he can't accomodate every inquiring client.
Hollywood's VARIETY News said it best as they chose Ricky for their cover: Ricky Baldwin, 'America's Santa'. Was also featured in TV Guide as he booked major TV ad, as Garth Brooks' own Santa.
Whether you want Santa-Ricky for his Vaudeville showmanship, (dedicated in singing, puppetry, speaking, and dream-making), or if you merely want breath-taking photos with your guests who will brag they had their photos taken with a national TV Santa… Ricky Baldwin is your man!
BONUS: Ricky will gladly pay your 5% Gigmasters booking fee when you are the discerning client choosing to embrace and honor Ricky's rare qualities (and travel expenses where needed). Am willing to travel virtually ANYWHERE.
Ricky no longer quotes a fee (in part because he works across America where rates vary). His fee boils down simply to how much clients such as you APPRECIATE the rare quality he will provide. Simply make your strongest budget commitment and Ricky will be able to accept or decline, with no bothersome haggling
He's the Santa whom advertisers & film producers want on-set. He's the artist the public adores, the entertainer the media flocks around, and the one man who can generate great media notice for you, your party, and your clients. Santa Ricky delivers ARTISTRY.
A Pro? Ricky possesses several handmade costumes, a White minivan 'Roadster' with hot-rod fenders (of Christmas lights) and license plate: 'The Sled'.
Producers often proclaim: "no more auditions, Ricky is the perfect Santa with classic face, hits the mark first time, takes direction well". And "This guy's quality makes money for us".
Book the SANTA of a lifetime: Santa-Ricky, the "Red Skelton" of Santas.
