Orphaned at an early age, Happy was subsequently raised by street monkeys in the backcountry of Belize. After he was adopted by Chilean miners, he spent years underground honing his people skills. When the mine collapsed, his father brought their family back to the homeland and took a job as a parasail operator in the popular vacation destination of Port O’Poti, Belize. Happy enjoyed his time on the white-sandy beaches where he thrived on wild corn dogs and pre-fab ice cream treats.
Happy went on to earn a degree in Interpretive Confectionary Art and spent several years touring the world with the circus as the head of cotton candy.
After a brief stint in sugar rehab, he formed his own company Happy, Incorporated and has become a popular children’s personality around the world, often appearing at parties for A-list celebrities including Pharrell Williams, David Hasselhoff and the Kardashians. Join us in welcoming Happy for his first year as Ambassador of the Eastern Idaho State Fair.
