Our solar powered REcycled Bubble Tower was a hit  with the 1500 Pueblo County area  students attending  the Southeast Colorado Children’s Water Festival at the Colorado State University Pueblo campus .

The festival featured dozens of stations dedicated to water quality, safety and responsibility.  Our Bubble Tower was the center of attraction during the student’s lunch break and presented an opportunity for them to experience the opportunities presented by a solar powered attraction made from reclaimed and repurposed materials.

The REcycled Bubble Tower features half of our COW Bubble Tower, made from a  discarded vinyl billboard, and half of our COFFEE Bubble Tower, made from dozens of coffee bean bags from around the world.   Bright patches from discarded banquet table cloths add additional texture and color.

Sited next to the CSU campus fountain, high on a berm, the Bubble Tower caught the mostly gentle breeze to great effect.

One lad, exhausted from chasing bubbles up and down the berm, exclaimed: “I’m tired, but I want more bubbles!”

For the teachers, I offered a handout of water use trivia , detailing the amount of water required to produce various food items.

I am so grateful that we could be a part of this great event.  THANK YOU Southeast Colorado Children’s Water Festival !

Our REcycled Bubble Tower made the front page of the Grand Island Independent newspaper:

Our REcycled Bubble Tower is a combination of our COW  and COFFEE Bubble Towers.  Combining a reclaimed, repurposed, out dated billboard vinyl and dozens of colorful burlap and jute coffee bean bags from around the world,  with bright and color filled patches of discarded polyester table cloths from the rental linen industry.  I really like the fade resistant bright colors AND we get to keep some polyesters from languishing in a landfill !

Bubbles!  A photographers best friend!

Bubbles wafted and blasted over the crowd at the Colfax Root 40 Music Festival. Many thanks to The Center for the use of their parking lot.

We were proud to be able to offer a mini Bubble Tower to add to the ambiance at the 4-28-2012 festival in The Center parking lot.  The wind was utterly unpredictable, with bubbles blowing over east Colfax one moment, and over the crowd and the stage the next!  Didn’t get a lot of photos, but people sure did enjoy the bubbles!

One less bubble!

Meals on Wheels, Cowboy Stretch’s trusty long horned, long haired brown cow steed waits patiently for his next ride. Stretch’s new stilt bike is sure to be a hit at your parade, county fair or festival!

We all love a good story.  By adding  a Leprechaun and a pot of gold for the St Patrick’s Parade, the Stilt Bike becomes a platform for enriching and enlarging  the  parade experience.

Greater mobility means I can travel the car show AND the entire festival perimeter in just a few minutes at the Surprise Party in Surprise, AZ.

If you have a special theme in mind, let us know, we love to come up with new characters and props to implement and extend your theme or brand.

Come the holiday season, I expect Meals on Wheels to sport a red nose and reindeer antlers, or maybe moose antlers and a hat?  Who knows?!

Yes!  We have cowboy or western theme costumes!

Due to the extended drought, Cowboy Stretch has had to sell his giraffe dairy herd, and has taken up styling hair at the Cherry Creek Arts Festival. His foam rubber weed wacker makes short work of pesky nose hairs and back thatch as well!

In an effort to deal with unruly parents, the Heritage Square Family Entertainment Village in Golden, CO changed the focus of their annual Easter celebration.  Instead of an Egg Hunt, they expanded the entertainment offerings.   In addition to the traditional Easter Bunny (who distributed Easter eggs),  entertainment included our solar powered tie dye Bubble Tower, strolling entertainment by Stretch the nine foot clown, Thirsty, a Giant Parade Puppet and a stilt walking party with dozens of old fashioned hand held wood stilts and bucket stilts for the entire family.

The weather was glorious, with warm, caressing breezes to waft the bubbles, and bright sunshine.  Plenty of bubbles for everyone!  Moms and Dads delighted in photographing their kids chasing the bubbles, with many a child hoisted on high to catch the bubble stream.

At one point virtually EVERYONE in the park surrounded the Bubble Tower with dozens of families encircling, chasing, and photographing the wafting bubbles with red rocks and pine trees framing the scene.

The Stilt Party proved to be an all ages attraction with kids and their parents enjoying the opportunity to learn the art of Walking Tall in a bucolic setting.

Thirsty the Giant Parade Puppet greeted new arrivals and Stretch the nine foot clown provided Free Ear Cleaning with his jumbo four foot Q-Tip.  Other antics included “plate stalking” in the food court, and offering “cherry flavored Cod Liver Oil” as an ice cream topping and high energy sports drink!

Molly Kleeman provided balloon modeling, with outrageous success.  Her line of fans stretch down the street, with Sammy the octopus balloon pet  a popular request.

As we packed up for the evening, hundreds of additional celebrants enjoyed our bubble explosion as they made their way to the Red Rocks Church Easter celebration!  We hope the joy and beauty of bubbles will become a new tradition of Easter celebration.

Bubbles by the Chapel !

On a cool windy day, the Cubs from Pack 115 were treated to a surprise Bubble Storm performance.  Held in back of the elementary school, the wind swirled high and low, left to right, and even front to back!  Bubbles blew every where, some of them corkscrewing up, up, and away from clutching hands!

Scouts are trained to “Be Prepared”, and that training was tested from the start.  Originally planed as a mini Bubble Tower performance, with the FX bubble machine on a six foot tower, I moved the mini tower four times attempting to find the sweet spot behind the school.  Some wind, but not too much wind was needed.  No such luck!  After a lot of testing, I finally set the bubble machine on top of it’s case, about a foot off the ground.  From there the wind took the bubbles all over the play ground, followed by screaming kids!

Many thanks to Cub Scout Pack #115 for allowing me to be part of their programing.  It was a very fun event !

Cub Scouts and bubbles!

Walk the red carpet and see the charismatic entrance of the teams competing in the Women’s Final Four. The event, hosted by ESPN commentator Sage Steele, pays tribute to the coaches and student-athletes in a celebratory Salute. The red carpet arrival of the teams is open to the public, while tickets are required for the Salute.

It was a glorious day for a parade!

The Denver St Patrick’s Parade has so many entries, that it takes four hours for all of the floats, bands, horses and clowns just to leave the parking lot!

I always have a challenge putting together a costume for this event. This year, I matched the color of my shirt to the color of my Leprechaun’s hair!  My green hat with gold shamrock received several compliments . . . once I smoothed out the dent!

Stretch and friend Leprechaun chase the gold!

Red Headed Leprechaun !

Folks really liked the stilt bike, I plan on using it on a regular basis.
