Press Releases for May 2007

Balloon Manor III: Elastic Park

Registration for Balloon Manor and Airigami U 2007 is now open. It is your
chance to learn from the very best artists in the balloon industry as well
as work side by side with them to create the most ambitious balloon project
ever, Balloon Manor III: Elastic Park. This is the Scream Park edition of
Balloon Manor.

  • You’ll be part of a small group that will rotate from one instructor to the
    next.
  • In addition to personal attention from each Designer/ Instructor on the
    project you’ll also learn about every aspect of this amazing project.
  • All workshops will be hands-on, and will cover topics including sculpture
    design, balloonicature, large scale decor, large scale balloon project
    management, even promotion and public relations. You’ll be a part of it
    all.
  • Imagine how impressed your clients will be when they see the photos of
    your work on this project.

And that’s just the balloon benefits! This amazing piece of pop art is for
a good cause. The first two incarnations of Balloon Manor raised more than
$50,000 for cancer research, treatment, and awareness as a result of the
help from hundreds of professional balloon artists and community
volunteers. With a larger and busier venue, our goal is to continue to
raise even more money while coming together, learning together, and
creating together.

Just some of the folks on the design team include, Larry Moss, Don
Caldwell, Wynn Bell, Linda Bruce, John Barthelmes, Troy Apprill, Brian
Asman, Connie Iden-Monds, Tawney Noreen, Todd Neufeld, Mark Verge, Mike
Necheles, Dee White.

Total cost for the event, including 2 meals a day is $150 (before Aug 1).
Hotel is $89/night.
