Box Elder County Fair

We had the great chance of getting our name out there a little bit more by having a booth for 4 days at the Box Elder County Fair in Tremonton, Utah. There were so many great people that came out to support us and really helped to make our booth a fun place to be. We want to thank all of you who have given us your support from the get-go. The atmosphere was so lively and we were happy to have so many people stop to ask questions and get more information about this growing business. I had so many people say "what a great idea!" and "I really need someone like you". It was a very encouraging thing to have the response that we got. We're crossing our fingers that it pays off and we get some calls coming in. Thank you, BE County Fair for a good time! Hope to see you all next year!

Tinkerbell Birthday Party

We had a great time planning a Tinkerbell themed birthday party for a little girl turning 4! We had Mermaid Lagoon made out of a waterslide, a pirate ship, a treasure chest full of party favors (the loot), a trampoline set up for "flight school" and a beautiful cake. Very pleased with how it turned out. A large inflatable waterslide became the "lagoon" with clear and light blue floating balloons placed at different heights all around to simulate "bubbles", Appliance boxes built around the playset became a "pirate ship", complete with a prate flag and a sail. The pirate ship also came equipped with black waterballoons (canon balls) that proved to be very entertaining for kids and adults alike! Then, the trampoline filled with balloons became the "Flight School" where my daughters 16 year old aunt dressed up as wendy to give "flying lessons". My daughters father and uncle dressed as Captain Hook and Peter Pan and entertained the kids with a "battle". The most impressive decoration was the "Treasure Chest" made from a styrofoam Ice Chest. It was filled with chocolate candy pirate coins, mardi gras beads, and the party favor bags for all the children. The food was an extension of the decorations with star shaped cheese and crackers, star shaped PB & J sandwiches, and chocolate covered pretzels as "Tinkerbell wands" just to name a few.
