Drops & Pops for the New Year!


Another New Year’s Day in the books! Not sure if and how you celebrated it, but we like to celebrate when it is over 🙂 Umphrey’s Mcgee at the Fillmore and String Cheese Incident at the First Bank Center were just a couple of our stops this year. Please everyone have a safe and Happy New Year from everyone here at BALLOONATICS!

Balloon drop for Make a Wish

MakeAwish

HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. — A Highlands Ranch high school has spent the last week raising money for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. On Friday the students unveiled the final number in their fundraising quest. Rock Canyon High School raised $65,700.

A year ago Jeremy was diagnosed with Stage 3 Lymphoblastic Lymphoma. His mom Jennifer said, “He had a tumor that completely took up his chest.”

Jeremy didn’t let his diagnosis defeat his sense of humor though. “Jeremy`s first wish was that it would rain hot dogs,” said Griffin. So it did. The students let hotdog shaped balloons rain on him like confetti. It was great to see Jeremy happy and we here at BALLOONATICS were happy to help.

New first for Colorado Capital!

Colorado Capital FIRST Balloon Drop

With the restoration of the Colorado Capital Dome complete there was no better way to celebrate then a very tasteful and appropriate gold balloon drop from the top of the capital dome! We surprised everyone as no one had prior knowledge that there was going to be a balloon drop. Another awesome feature was we were told this was the first time there had ever been a balloon drop in the Colorado Capital and the current standing governor, John Hickenlooper even posted it to his Facebook page. Click on the image above to check out the video he shot.
