From April 15 to 18, 2010, Stan Rosen, of Ballroom Balloons will attend the World Balloon Conference to be held in Dallas, Texas. This first ever one-of-a-kind event is being sponsored by Qualatex, the world’s leading manufacturer of decorator quality balloons and related equipment.

Part “ballooniversity” (apologies to Burton and Burton), part trade show, and part artist indulgance-this fabulous weekend features training and demonstrations by balloon artists from Washington, DC to Bejing, China. Dozens of decor-related vendors will attend; and, I am even invited to take a VIP tour of the Qualatex manufacturing plant to see how the world’s best balloons are made. I will be thrilled to bring back new balloon decorating ideas including alternative balloon centerpiece designs, dance floor canopies, ceiling treatments, balloon drops, and much more.

Be sure to visit our What’s New section in our gallery in the coming months to see examples of what we have learned: www.BallroomBalloons.com/gallery.html

The traditional day for lovers falls on a Sunday this year. That’s February 14 in case you don’t recall. Until the mid 1990’s, Ballroom Balloons delivered as many as 200 balloon bouquets for Valentine’s Day. Since then, dollar stores and party stores have decided to use balloons as their loss leaders. Balloons can be found in grocery stores, florist shops, and even from street vendors. So, the novelty has worn off. There are still very talented people who create balloon art. Its a whole different presentation than receiving a gaggle of balloons. Balloon art is to balloon bunches as floral arrangements are to cut flowers.

In any event, www.BallroomBalloons.com is pleased to still offer Gorrila Grams on Valentine’s Day. Please visit www.BallroomBalloons.com/singingtelegrams.html for a sample video and more information.

New year’s eve is typically one of our busiest times for decorating here at www.BallroomBalloons.com. And, although we are certainly grateful to have a couple of wonderful clients to decorate for this new year to welcome the start of 2009, almost all attention has turned to the inauguration.

Ballroom Balloons is fielding calls from across the nation with requests to decorate inaugural balls. While there may only be a few dozen “official” inaugural balls, I suspect that there will be hundreds, if not thousands of balls, parties, galas big and small…..And, the partying is starting early. Already we have bookings for January, 18, 19, and for the big day, January 20th. Still, we are saving a little spot on our calendar for your special ball. So, please call us nationwide toll free at (877) 291-8338. You may also fill out a quote reqest form at www.BallroomBalloons.com/quotes.html or send me an e-mail at Stan@BallroomBalloons.com.

Our “Popular Events” links may be found on our home page. There you will find some great decorating ideas for the presidential inauguration. See: www.BallroomBalloons.com/political-events.html. Until January 20, stay warm, be safe and…..

Last weekend, the balloon crew of www.BallroomBalloons.com travelled to Newport News, Virginia to decorate and celebrate the Christening of our nation’s newest submarine, The New Mexico, on December 13, 2008. Ballroom Balloons was commissioned by the primary contractor, Northrop Grumman, to create, install, and operate a fifty-foot long balloon drop containing over 1,300 balloons. The Northrop Grumman engineering team used a sophisticated crane system to hoist the drop net full of balloons over 120-feet high. So, it was a wonderful sight to watch the balloons cascade to the floor! The building where the submarine was housed was further decorated with several balloon columns that were as tall as fourteen feet.

Although we have not posted the photos or videos to www.BallroomBalloons.com/gallery.html or www.BallroomBalloons.com/videos.html, you may view a photo of the balloon drop in action at www.NorthropGrumman.com. There, you will also find a video of the full Christening ceremony. The balloon drop starts at about one hour and thirty minutes into the ceremony.

The Northrop Grumman team welcomed us with open arms and big hearts. Although the ceremony was chock full of admirals, the submariners, and other VIP’s, the decorating crew of Ballroom Balloons was made to feel as if we were the most important part of the ceremony. Their appreciation and friendship made us feel like we were instant members of the Northrop Grumman family.

Enjoy,

Stan

Hello fellow balloon fans,
The 2008 general election is in full campaign mode if our small balloon decoration business is any indication. Inquiries for Helium tank kits to victory balloon drops are burning up the phone lines and filling up our on-line quote forms (see www.BallroomBalloons.com/quotes.html). Most of the interest is for post election parties and anticipated presidential inaugural balls; but, many people are currently decorating political fundraisers and stump speeches around the nation.

Folks are expressing pleasure and gratification about the fact that we have Helium cylinders available for rent; and, that we have five sizes to choose from (see www.BallroomBalloons.com/rentals.html). Some of you may be aware of the recent worldwide shortages of Helium. Ballroom Balloons is pleased to announce that we always have every size tank filling 75 to 600 balloons available. And, while most party stores rent Helium tanks by the day, Ballroom Balloons let’s you keep them for a week to accomodate your busy schedule.

Why not visit our photo gallery today at www.BallroomBalloons.com/gallery.html for some great decorating ideas?!

Enjoy,
Stan
