Here are answers to some questions:

          Q:  How far in advance to I need to call to book you for a party or event?
          A:  Although I am currently booking about six weeks in advance, call anytime to see if I have an
                opening.  Sometimes dates and times change or I may have a cancellation.

          Q:  How much do you charge?
          A:  My fee varies depending on the location of the event and how long you may want entertainment
                provided.  Contact me on the details you're planning.

          Q:  What methods of payment do you accept?
          A:  I'm not set-up at this time for credit cards, but any other form of payment is fine.

          Q:  How far do you travel?
          A:  I currently entertain in Northern Ohio and the Lake Erie Islands.

          Q:  Where did you learn how to do that?
          A:  The first place I ever received any information on balloon creations was the Akron-Summit
                County Public Library.  I had also learned of someone in the area at the time who was given a
                "mini-course in twisting balloons" and took the course at their house in Akron.

          Q:  Do you have any Safety Tip that you'd like to share?
          A:  Yes.  Keep balloons away from young children as they have a tendency to want to put things in
                their mouth.

          Q:  Are there any books that you can recommend to learn balloons?
          A:  Yes.  You can visit my balloon store for a list of different available balloon books that you can
                purchase.  I also have a DVD that teaches 15 different balloon creations and will be in my
                balloon store very soon.  

          Q:  How many different balloon creations can you make?
          A:  Last time I counted, I was up to 137 different balloon creations.

          Q:  How long have you been making balloon creations?
          A:  As of June 2007, I've been doing balloon creations for ten years and seven months.

          Q:  How long will they last?
          A:  The balloons I use are the best in the world!  They're thicker balloons than store bought brands
                and are made to withstand the pressure of twisting them.  They generally last anywhere from a
                week to ten days.  However I've seen them last longer.

          Q:  How long do you usually come for a Birthday Party?
          A:  Most Birthday Parties I do for about an hour.  Usually there are other things planned, so an
                hour of entertainment usually works fine.

          Q:  What is the minimum amount of time that you come to an event?
          A:  I have a minimum of one hour. 

          Q:  What do you recommend is a good time to come to the Birthday Party?
          A:  This pretty much depends upon what has also been planned for the party.  If you're having a party
               at a local restaurant, party center or bowling facility, you may want to plan on having me at the time
               that follows something else at the location.  Serving food or waiting for other guests to arrive may
               be something to consider.  Other than that, I think that usually a half hour into the party works out
               well as most people coming are usually there by then!

          Q:  Wedding Receptions?
          A:  Not only is this great entertainment at Wedding Receptions, but I also have wonderful table
                decorations to match the theme and color arrangement.

          Q:  How many balloons can you blow up in an hour?
          A:  That pretty much depends on the different creations that I'm making.  However, usually around 35
                to 40 multiple balloon creations would be a close guess.

          Q:  Do you have other people with Mr. Balloon that make balloon creations?
          A:  No.  Just me.  I think it's a lot easier to manage and keep my business organized by working on
                my own.  I can also assure reliability in arriving at an event and the performance can be at it's best!

          Q:  What is the largest balloon creation you've ever done?
          A:  The largest creation I've done so far is a giant balloon seahorse at the Sail and Power Boat Show
                at the IX center in Cleveland.  It was over eight and a half feet high! 

          Q:  What is the largest event you've ever done in Northeast Ohio?
          A:  The Twinsday Festival 2000 in Twinsburg, Ohio.  May I add that if you've never been to the
                Twinsday Festival, try to attend this wonderful annual event.  I've never seen so many twins in my life! 
                It's a lot of fun with many activities going on throughout the weekend.

          Q:  Do you cater to adult parties?
          A:  Yes, but, only for "clean" balloon creations.  I've found that no matter the age, everyone seems to
                really enjoy the entertainment and so many people want to receive a balloon for themselves or to
                take home to their kids or grand children.

          Q:  What is the farthest distance you've ever traveled to entertain with balloons?
          A:  Daytona Beach, Florida.  

          Q:  How often do you "pop" a balloon?
          A:  I average about one in every fifty.  

          Q:  How many balloons have you ever blown up?
          A:  I wish I knew!  However, I'm now averaging about 1,400 balloons a week!

          Q:  How do I set my Homepage to Mr. Balloon?
          A:  One way, in Internet Explorer, is to go to your Tools then click on Internet Options.  Choose
                "Use Current" (that is, if you're at my site!) and then click on "Apply" and the "OK".  Visit my site
                often as I'm working on updates all the time!

          Q:  How do I add Mr. Balloon to My Favorites list?
          A:  Right-Click on my Homepage and choose the "Add to Favorites" option.  Enjoy!

          Q:  Do you perform at Restaurants?
          A:  Absolutely!  I'm currently at Applebees every Monday evening in Brunswick from 6:00 to 8:00 and
                Wednesday evenings from 6:00 to 8:00.  Visit my "Dining Out" page for more information.

          Q:  How old are you?
          A:  I'm just a big kid!
