Disappointment, frustration, and despair are all words we will use to describe this year for JTF Operations. We began the year with extreme excitement. We were almost completely booked for the spring and summer. By the end of February, we only had about 5 weekends available. We were set to have our busiest year in the life of our mobile business. Then came March. Everything went downhill from there. It is difficult to watch something you pour your heart and soul into just languish.

JTF Operations

Ronda Johnson · June 9, 2020

Well 2020 has turned out to be one heck of a year and we are only half way through it. JTF operates in three different states which makes operating status complicated. We are required to follow the rules of the state where our customers live.

COVID 19 pauses JTF Events

Ronda Johnson · April 16, 2020

As with most businesses right now, JTF is not able to operate at this time. We have had a few events cancelled and postponed. Although this is a difficult time, we will all be back to normal when it is safe to do so. The most satisfying part of our business is seeing people of all ages have fun so we miss entertaining everyone.

JTF 2108 End of Year Report

Ronda Johnson · December 26, 2018

JTF is happy to report on the results of 2018. This year marked the second year of the mobile business model. JTF went to this model after funding for a permanent location was slow and unpredictable. Additionally, the mobile business allows JTF to determine where demand is greatest for the permanent location. JTF has refined permanent location possibilities after two years.

Who is JTF?

Ronda Johnson · July 16, 2018

JTF has been operating in the area for about 3 years now. The owners, Ronda and Michael, are not originally from the local area. We choose to move to this area after doing our time, living and working in the DC Area for over 10 years. We were both Federal Government Employees who, after family losses, decided our life needed to change.
