Report
I have seen Ron Cain perform several times across a couple decades. As a teen I enjoyed watching him perform at the Dewitt Community Library during the Summer Reading program. Most recently he entertained at a birthday party we attended. My daughter loved the show! He is outstanding and appeals to kids, teens, and adults!
