Cinco de Mayo! Whoa!

May 6, 2012

Wow, what a fun weekend.  Friday I twisted balloons for the Harvard Crimson Kids for a private party. They were a great fun group with a face painter and cotton candy machine and of course balloons.  Saturday (Cinco de Mayo) I just finished helping the Whole Foods in Providence, R.I. celebrate their 10th anniversary.  They had hula hoopers, crafts, a wacky drum corps / marching band, me making some balloons and all kinds of fun.  It was a great celebratory atmosphere and everyone was so warm and friendly.

Sunday will wrap the weekend up with some balloon twisting at Everwood Day Camp in Sharon.  Everwood’s a great place and has hired me a bunch of times in the past two years for their open houses.  If you’re on the South Shore and in the market for a summer camp definitely give Everwood a visit.  It’s located on picturesque Lake Massapoag.

Testimonial on Boston Mamas!!!

Yesterday, I was doing my semi-annual google-ing of Drewsballoons when I found this wonderful testimonial on Boston Mamas. I’m very happy to have been mentioned and to have been called “generally cool” and “laid back.” Click below to check it out:

What is this balloon thing all about?

What is balloon twisting?

Balloon twisting is taking specially made latex balloons and crafting them in to animals, hats, costumes, full size statues, pretty much anything you can imagine. There are no limits to what can be made. Balloon twisters are part entertainers, part artists.

What do I need a balloon twister for?

A balloon twister can add a distinct flavor to your party, carnival, street festival, charity event, dance or corporate function. The only prerequisite to hiring a balloon twister is a sense of imagination.

How did I get into balloon twisting?

When I was but a wee tyke, my father, a pediatric PA, experimented by twisting balloons for my childhood birthday parties. Most of his attempts at twisting, weren’t exactly blue ribbon balloon sculptures. They did however spark an interest and appreciation obaby drew with balloonsf balloons for me. Twenty years later, I made friends with an area twister and they began teaching me the craft.
