Return of Jason

When I first joined the Michiana Balloon Twisters there was a young man named Jason Zabo twisting with us. After awhile he moved to Florida seeking his fame and fortune ... seems he did pretty good ! He joined us tonight at our twisters meeting after visiting some friends in Chicago. He taught us his Yoda and Batman. THANKS Jason !

Independence Day Celebration

I was at my annual Independence Day Celebration with the Fun folks of the University Village on Friday (July 4th).  They have food, a bike parade and a bonfire ... and Twister Mike too.  It seems like some gigs get too busy for photos and this one is a steady stream of kids and adults.  Thanks for inviting me back again this year ! 

After I'm done I head to Jan & Doc's house for our family's celebrations.  We had a few more kids this year (only about 10), so after dinner I broke out the balloons.  My Grandson Kade was first in line and he asked for a Captain America Shield ... I thought it would be a great time to design one on the fly.  I did get to perfect it as there were a few more kids that wanted one too.  My son-in-law Chris McTwist got sucked into making one as well ... good practice !

Chick-Fil-A 10th Birthday Party

July 1st (Tuesday) was a big 10 year celebration for Chick-Fil-A on Main street Mishawaka.  I was twisting there 12:00 - 2:00 and made lots of different balloons.

 A Seahorse of course !

 FUN Hats !

And Twisting with the COW !

Weekend Gigs

First gig was in Goshen at Ben's Soft Pretzel's Kids Day 11:00-12:30. It was indoors and it was a GREAT time !  Kids had face painting and a pretzel walk and of course Twister Mike Balloons !

The second gig was a return to Roseland Animal Hospital for their open house.  It was outside in the shade.  They had lots of games for the kids, cookies, pizza face painting and Balloons.  It was fun seeing all the different kinds of pets attending the open house.

Western Branch Library Program

June 4th was the Western Branch of the St Joe Library Fizz, Boom, Read program and we did a Balloon Twisting Workshop.  Fun and active bunch of kids and adults !  Thanks to the Librarian helpers too.

Race For The Cure

I had a FUN time last Saturday twisting in the Kid's pavilion at Potwatami Park. Miss Indiana Collegiate 2014 stopped by for a balloon corsage.

Fizz, Boom, Read Summer Program

Started our large sculpture build for the downtown Mishawaka library. Don & Barry were waiting for me this morning. Chris joined us a bit later. So far so good.
