Balloon Twisting

Everyone that is not among the great unwashed knows, "Every party is better with festive multi-colored balloon hats." This is John's special balloon hat, the Carmen Miranda.

Public Events

John the Balloon Man will be twisting at First Sundays in downtown Pittsboro, NC, throughout the year, entertaining children of all ages while their families and friends visit the merchants, craftspeople, and information booths along Hillsboro Street. Ubi also entertained children and twisted balloons for the second year in a row at the 6th Annual ClydeFest at the Chatham County Fairgrounds, Pittsboro, NC.

Themed parties

Several years ago, a grocery chain hired me and my son Sean to twist balloons for the grand opening of a new store. We worked all night and created 50 life-size lobster balloons for the seafood department. More recently, I designed a penguin balloon for the 5th annual Penguin Party, a garden party celebrating things black and white.

Twisting Balloons at the BRAC Celebration Party

The Curtis Media Group hired Ubi to entertain at the party they threw to celebrate Seymour Johnson AFB NOT being targeted by the 2005 BRAC (base realignment and closing) Committee.

Depending on the party, either John the Balloon Man or Ubi the Clown can twist balloons.
