So a couple years ago I started making balloon animals for the kids, so now anytime we’re out somewhere and see balloons being made we immediately jump on the bandwagon 😂🎈
At this event there was a huge line of kids and between the unexpected heat and the freshly cut grass, the little balloons kept popping left and right. It honestly turned into pure chaos for a minute lol. But AJ with Balloons by AJ handled it SO well. He stayed calm, fun, patient, and kept the whole vibe positive even while trying to remake balloons nonstop.
I ended up talking to him while he was working and asked how he got started, if he enjoys doing it, if he does birthday parties, all the things and I was genuinely so impressed. He started this business when he was around 12 or 13 years old and is now in high school which is honestly incredible to me. Seeing someone that young with such a strong work ethic, optimistic attitude, and “figure it out” mindset is seriously admirable.
You can tell he truly enjoys what he does and the kids absolutely loved him. On top of that, his prices were honestly way more affordable than I expected them to be for event entertainment.
Hands down would recommend reaching out to him if you need something unique, interactive, and fun for kids at an event, birthday party, festival, school function, literally anything in between. Supporting young entrepreneurs like this is something I’ll always get behind 👏🏼
Also please ignore my lack of pictures 😂 I didn’t think about making a post until after the fact, so these are all I managed to grab. 🎈🥳
