Butch Patrick

Media Guest

Butch Patrick (born August 2, 1953) is an American former child actor. Beginning his professional acting career at the age of seven, Patrick is perhaps best known for his role as child werewolf Eddie Munster on the CBS comedy television series The Munsters from 1964 to 1966 and in the 1966 feature film Munster, Go Home, and as Mark, on the ABC Saturday morning series Lidsville from 1971 to 1973.

In 1964, Patrick landed the role of child werewolf Eddie Munster, starring alongside Fred Gwynne as Herman Munster, Yvonne De Carlo as Lily Munster and Al Lewis as Grandpa, on the CBS television series The Munsters, a fantasy situation comedy loosely based on Universal's movie monsters. The role of Eddie was originally portrayed by child actor Happy Derman in the pilot episode before Patrick was ultimately selected out of hundreds of boys for the role.

When asked how he landed the role of Eddie, Patrick recalled "I had a lot of experience. But maybe it was because my fangs were my own teeth. My teeth were so bad, that even when I closed my mouth they stuck out. I was about a head smaller than the other kids, and they liked that because it played off Herman's height." Living on the East Coast at the time, Patrick commuted to Los Angeles every week during filming of the series, appearing in 70 episodes during The Munsters two-season run from 1964 to 1966.

After The Munsters ended, Patrick continued to appear in guest-starring roles on various popular television series of the 1960s, including I Dream of Jeannie, Death Valley Days, Gunsmoke, The Monkees, Daniel Boone, and Adam, as well as a recurring role as Gordon Dearing on the CBS family comedy series My Three Sons. During this time, Patrick also appeared in several Walt Disney films, including Way Down Cellar, The Young Loner and The One and Only, Genuine, Original Family Band, as well as portraying the role of Milo in the 1970 MGM live-action/animated film The Phantom Tollbooth.

Born in Minneapolis and raised in Burnsville, MN, Tom has been drawing for as long as he could remember. At age 14, he was already commissioned to do portraits of baseball players, and at 16 he was hired to draw caricatures at Valleyfair amusement park and at the Mall of America.

Tiffany Johnson

Guest of Honor

Acclaimed psychic, Tiffany gives inspiration, insight and understanding into your ever-changing life.

Tiffany, at an early age, showed an interest in the Metaphysical realms. At 14, she began reading Tarot cards for friends and family. Continuing through junior high, high school & college she read, honing her talents and developing others. Further into adulthood, a series of events brought her back to her New Age Spirituality and deeper studies of holistic healing, herbs, oils, stones, energy work, past life work, Angels, Reiki, etc. Having personally worked and trained with well known psychics and healers, she knows what an integral part of life and soul development readings can be. Now, at age 34, Tiffany continues her studies and assists other people in theirs. Through classes, readings and healings she works to enlighten her clients to spirit's/God's/Goddess's nature and beauty.

In her Tarot readings, Tiffany gives inspiration, insight and understanding into your ever-changing life. Tarot offers symbolic guidance to assist you on your personal path. In addition to guidance and clarification, the Tarot is enjoyable and entertaining. It is an energizing way of divining your personal path.

In a channeling session with Tiffany, guidance & messages from our angels, spirit guides, those on the other side and inner light comes through.

In addition to channeling, Tiffany also utilizes her inner voice, intuition. This assists not only in interpreting the message given, but understanding where it applies in your life.

As a healer, Tiffany is a Reiki Master. Reiki is a Japanese healing art developed by Mikao Usui. Reiki can relieve pain, acute problems, and chronic illnesses depending on the specific nature of the disease. Reiki honors the ecology of the person by working on spiritual, mental and emotional levels.

Beyond the spiritual counseling and healing, Tiffany is also an ordained minister. She provides a unique style to many various rites of passage (marriage, baptism, commitment ceremonies, etc.) that adapt and respect all faiths and belief systems. In addition to her officiating at life ceremonies, Tiffany's studies and ordination give her a perspective that is not only comforting, but educating as well.

Tiffany is also a certified Hypnotherapist specializing in past life regression therapies. This modality assists in her practice as a tool to help work through many of those karmic issues we have chosen to bring into this lifetime.

Late in 2006 Tiffany was asked to be a part of the Greater Lakes Search and Rescue team. This team, comprised all of volunteer police, paramedics and emergency medical technicians works on missing persons cases in the Midwest.
