A year in review 2014!

It has been a wonderful year at Merry Makers.  I wish I could make myself sit down more often and blog, however I prefer to talk instead of type.

A year in review.
January - City of Greeley's Father Daughter dance - this is always a wonderful dance for dad's and daughters to come spend quality time.  Merry Makers has been a sponsor of this event for 4 years.  We support families!
February - Valentines Day! -- Whew this was fun.. Lots of amazing balloons delivered all over Northern Colorado!
March - BIG Month - Banner Health's Spirit of Women "Day of Dance" event.  Merry Makers created a huge "Horton" from "Horton hears a Who".. Dr. Suess Themed event.  and dance floor decor.

Also - World Balloon Convention - Denver Co, 2014 - Merry Makers competed with just 2 crew members against the best in the world.  While we did not win - we made an impression.  Most of the teams had over 20 members building the displays - we had 2.  Yes.  Colorado and Merry Makers totally rock.

April/May - Prom Season - one of my favorite times of year.  Amazing creations of dance floor canopies for our local schools. - A few of our favorite big annual clients have us decorate for their corporate meetings.

June-August - Full on Summer Time fun.  Festivals including The Greeley Arts Picnic, Fort Collins New West Fest, Windsor Harvest Festival and many others.. We love festival season as we are out in the public having fun with our favorite people... you..

September-November - Halloween - This is all about fun!!  Amazing makeup and cool creative balloons..
December - This is a time for Santa - He is booked every year and you have to make sure you get on the books early to have him at your event.
New Years eve - This year- in Fort Collins.  The magic of Lloyd and Linda will be at the Aztlan Center along with some custom balloon drops.  Brian and I will be at the Lincoln Center twisting balloons up for everyone.  I look forward to seeing you there!!  Blessings and prosperity to all.

Remember --- Make it Merry!!

Festival Season is Here - August 2013

It has been a very busy summer here at Merry Makers.  We have had two balloon training classes with over 10 new artist, a face painting class with 7 amazing face painters and we are all set and geared up to go.

We have already had the Greeley Arts Picnic which was amazing.. the weather could not have been more perfect.  Great painting, great stage shows and more.

Our next big event will be the New West Fest -- http://downtownfortcollins.com/events/bohemian-nights-at-newwestfest - this weekend.  Our booth is set up in the SE quadrant of the Library property.  We are on the NW corner of that quadrant.  Come check us out.  Several of my new painters will be there.

After that we will be participating again for the Tour De Fat/New Belgium's biking event in Fort Collins and Denver.http://www.newbelgium.com/events/tour-de-fat.aspx - They have hired us!! so we will be painting free for the participants.

Windor's Harvest Festival -http://www.windsorharvestfest.com/ One of our favorites - It will be in Main Park on Sunday and Monday where there will be close to 200 Arts and Crafts and Commercial Booths as well as a great selection of Food Vendors. There will be great music and demonstrations coming from the Entertainment Stage in the park along with plenty of rides and games for the kids! The parade on Monday promises to be as great as always.  Our booth is usually located on the south side, near the food vendors, however it is considered the western side of the park.  

Then we will have the Loveland Oktoberfest  on September 21 -- http://www.e-l-events.org/Pages/E.L.EventCalendar.php?id=4899 -- This looks like it will be a fun event!

Any finally - the Greeley Oktoberfest -- Sept 27th and 28th -- http://www.greeleydowntown.com/signature-events/oktoberfest -- We love Greeley!! we get to start the season here and end the season here.

Don't think it will be over though... Halloween is always fun!!  We will be scheduling private appointments to get your halloween makeup done.  We are open to the idea of setting up shop somewhere as a demonstration space this will be a way to bring attention both to you and to us.
