Meet Our Epic Event Team of Shenanigenz!

So we’ve all heard the saying, “jack of all trades, master of none”. Well, we don’t believe that! We believe that a simple spark of an idea can turn into an entire firework show! What makes the best fireworks displays? The variety!

The idea for Shenanigenz came to fruition when a group of invaluable friends realized a need for a one stop entertainment shop. We collectively have been practicing the idea for years bringing a VIP experience to a local non-profit organization.  What literally started with a little bit of duct tape and bailing twine has now been made into the Taj Mahal. We have been highly successful and wanted to share and bring our experience to you.

I love that I get paid to socialize! I mean, how lucky am I! I have always been a people person! I love to create! I always have ideas spinning through my mind. I see a need and think of ways to fill that need; my gift is entertainment. We all need things that bring us joy or else how boring would life be - BLAH! I get so excited to sit with my friends and share my ideas - the energy, the collaboration of thoughts, and bringing an idea to life! My simple seed of an idea grows into something unique and magical. I am so thankful to dream with friends and bringing these ideas to life are adventures we take together! 

I am definitely a multi passionate girl with my whole heart in each and everything that I do. Good thing because I don’t sit well, lol! 

In addition to being a wife and a mother, I’m a Singer with a License to Touch: Lead Singer of Hiawatha Band & RoughCut and Owner of Attitude Adjustment Massage. I grew up rodeoing, so it was just natural to become a PRCA Rodeo Timer and Rodeo Sound Girl. My knowledge in this community spurred the partnership and creation of Dumb Girl Promotions and Consulting offering Rodeo Consulting for Committees along with educational seminars and public speaking. I really enjoy being a Bartender as it gives me the opportunity to see familiar faces and make new friends too!

I am ecstatic that Shenanigenz is finally here! We can’t wait to share it with you!

Char McDowell

I was born and raised in a small farming community in Eastern Washington. I started work in the hospitality industry at the age of 14. At an early age I learned that my love language is Acts of Service where I can lighten the burden of another’s load, if even for a small moment in time. In the hospitality industry, I learned to develop relationships, have meaningful conversation, laugh, love, create, and embrace me just being me. 

As years have passed, I find myself still gravitating toward the hospitality industry. Although my life path has opened up different opportunities, I still feel the compelling urge to serve which pulls me back and keeps me grounded.

I have surrounded myself with truly inspiring people. Be that family or a close group of friends. My circle is complete not only because of common bonds but because of the talents, goals, visions, and determination which makes each one of us invaluable.

Lynn Garza

Born and raised in Montana I learned the value and reward of hard work. These lessons have served me well my entire life. They taught me the power of communication; that all voices need to be heard and to speak my mind thoughtfully yet directly. I pride myself that I am objective; looking at all sides and researching thoroughly before making decisions in a timely fashion.

I moved to Moses Lake, Washington after finishing at the University of Montana. I met my husband Rolly a few years later and we started our family. We moved to Western Washington for 11 years before returning to Moses Lake to be closer to family. Being a wife and a mother truly makes my heart overflow! Our family has recently grown - Rolly and I are grandparents! The joy a family brings to your heart is one that I am eternally grateful for! 

I am thankful for the variety of places that I have lived. In addition to the adventure of it all, it has given me a better understanding of different perspectives. I’ve always been a people person! This has been a great asset to me throughout my life! From managerial jobs, non-profits I volunteer with, to my Real Estate career; knowing how to interact with others is vital!

I love bringing a team together, leading by example, and getting a job done efficiently! When everyone knows their role and their value it’s not “just a job”, it’s something we all take pride in. 

Angel Ledesma

Mother of one, lover of all! 

I have had many career lives and always have a few waiting in the wings. I own and partner in businesses of my own, and I have helped in the family businesses, however, my true passion is in philanthropy. Not with the big bucks that I don't have, but with my resourceful, determined, caring, and wholehearted self skills. 

Over the years, I have nurtured friendships and connections that have brought so many dreams for others, our community, and therefore myself come to life! I am in awe of the hard work and dedication that these people have selflessly given. Gathering people together for a cause, as well as my own businesses, has taught me great efficiency to get tasks completed with less stress for all involved. Allowing both the attendants and the workers to enjoy the moment and savor the reason we are all there - to give back.

I try to LIVE, stay in the moment, and strive for contentment. 

Tiffany Carvo

I wear many hats! In addition to being a wife and mother, I am the owner and solo-prenuer for Tiffany Carvo Photography, PIC Happy Photobooth, and Designs by Tiffany LLC. I also handle the books and the HR duties of my husbands trucking company. You may even occasionally see me behind the front desk of a dental office because, what can I say - it’s in my blood! In addition to all of that, I was honored when this group of talented women asked me to be a part of their team eight years ago. 

We each offer unique gifts that build and strengthen each others ideas. I’m more of the behind the scenes girl and that is just the way I like it! I handle the “all things techie” including but not limited to: graphics, copy, branding and marketing aspects.

The one thing that ties ALL that I do together is creating an experience. I know that there are many choices out there for photography, photo booths, graphic designers, trucking companies, dental offices, and non-profit occasions. What sets them apart from each other is the experience they provide. 

With each of these businesses, we are sharing our passions with you. We want you to feel as excited as we are about the journey! It is our goal that you enjoy your time with us and know you are appreciated and valued by us. We know that life is busy and we appreciate that you choose to spend your time and hard earned dollars with us.
