By the next year, she started performing for the attendees. As her talent grew in subsequent years, she proved to be the #1 draw for families and children at the convention.  I remember well the energy and the presence she added, and the audience was filled with parents/grandparents who made a point to bring their children/grandchildren to the convention shows in order to watch Sunny Girl grow up as a performer in front of the attendees, year after year.
