Featured Cover Spotlight Children's Entertainment By Jessa McClure

As children gather inside a local family fun center for a birthday party, they are greeted by some of their favorite characters who are there to help them celebrate, play games, and take pictures. This magical experience is created by the family-owned business Tooty Tot, that has been delighting kids and their families for more than seven years. “We’re like a party in a box,” said co-owner, Renecia Harris Ruffin. “We bring the fun to you and provide quality entertainment.” Tooty Tot not only has over 30 mascot characters to choose from, but they also offer a designated party host, arts and crafts, activities, and face painting—all for an affordable price. Ruffin got the idea to start the business while attending a children’s event several years ago. “A person walked in dressed as Elmo, and I watched how everyone was smiling and how they flocked to the costume,” she said. “I was like, wow, I can do that.” Even though Ruffin’s husband, Rashaun, was a little nervous about starting an entertainment business, the couple ultimately decided to take a leap of faith and open Tooty Tot, whose name comes from the Dr. Jean song, Tooty Ta. Over the years Ruffin and her business partner/husband have had to adapt to the changing popularity of certain characters. They started with Elmo and Dora the Explorer and have added Spongebob, and the cast members of Paw Patrol, PJ Masks and Frozen. But while the characters might change, the Ruffin’s business practices and passion for entertaining children has never changed. “We’re all about service and making sure that everybody is happy and having a good time,” Ruffin said. “I always say this is God’s business and we’re just His mouthpiece. We actually look at it as kind of a ministry.” Because the couple cares so much about their clients, they have adopted more safety procedures to ensure the health and wellness of their employees and partygoers. “We disinfect the costumes and make sure our employees are washing their hands often,” she said. “Depending on the location, we might also ask the party host to wear a mask.” For more information about Tooty Tot and making your next event extra special, visit www.tootytot.com or contact the Ruffins at 254-338-3524 or kidspartiesandmore@yahoo.com.

Community partners helping local children find a brighter future Presented by

Photo by Marilyn Griggs Photography, The Heart Gallery of Central Texas

Summer is here and this special young man hopes his summer will be full of basketball, video games and making money as an entrepreneur. Sixteen-yearold David also hopes that a forever family might be looking for him this summer. David is a natural peace maker who acts as a big brother figure to his peers, mediating disputes when he sees them arise. He works hard to be a good example to others. He does well in school and is even a grade ahead for his age. David’s future is bright, especially if he finds a family that will give him structure and work hard to help him develop positive relationships. He will thrive in a home that allows him to explore his imagination. When you look at David’s smile you can see the kind, smart, hard-working boy he is. He’s just waiting for a forever family to say, “come home.”

If you’d like to complete a home study or learn more about adopting David, go to heartgallerytexas.com. The Heart Gallery of Central Texas is a program of Partnerships for Children.
