Dale was very pleasant and professional at our store promotion. He was very good at keeping the people entertained and engaged so they didn't mind waiting in line. Because he was very good at keeping the children occupied, the parents would come into the store to shop. I was a great experience.

I have been planning our company picnic for ten years and always thought we had a decent balloon artists. Little did I know Dale was above and beyond decent. He was outstanding and exceeded my expectations by far! His balloons were amazing and he kept the line laughing while they waited. We will plan our picnic around his availability! He made our picnic a very special event.

The
kids really enjoyed Dale. My daughter
continues to mention that the balloons
were great, but its Dale's jokes and
funny comments that made it really fun.
She say that she really enjoyed listening
to Dale entertain the kids while the
was making the creations.On a aside note,
a couple of weeks after our event we
visited the City of Chicago Halloween
Event at the Daily Center Plaza. They
had "Balloon Entertainers", who weren't
very good or entertaining. For me, it
really shows just what a great job Dale
does.
Thanks Dale.

I
am happy to tell you in writing how happy
I was that you came to entertain the girls
at the end of the scout’s party. You
really saved the day by accommodating us – so
far north and on such short notice. (I was
grateful for your professionalism & early
arrival, too!)
The
theme of my year as leader of the scouts
was creativity – I truly
believed in getting the creative juices
flowing and losing oneself in the process.
Maybe that’s lost on 5 year olds… then
again maybe not – They enjoyed our
monthly arts & crafts sessions immensely.
Your participation
at our culminating festivities was a
perfect tie-in because of your high level
of creativity and skills. I think of
what you do as a form of art – both
in the production and in the presentation. Of
courses, the balloon sculptures where AMAZING
and far surpassed anything anyone there
had ever seen. I received complements
about your balloons for days & weeks
afterwards.
Thanks for everything
PS – We recently attended a cook
out that had a balloon artist. I
describe you to my friends like this: If
the balloon artist at this cook out is
a balloon artist. Then the Magical Balloon-dude
is the Balloon Van Gogh. He’s
simply Amazing!

It
was the day before Blue & Gold and
we didn't have entertainment lined up
for the event. I ran into Dale at the
Jewel Store where he was making balloons
for the customers. Dale was flexible
enough to entertain at our event that
next day.
I've seen
other balloon entertainers who make the
typical swan hats, wiener dogs and balloon
swords but Dale was the hit with
his aliens, Oddie the dog, the balloon
Boy Scout, and butterflies.
Dale did a
great job in predicting the amount of
time we would need to have him based
upon the numbers of kids in the group.
Everyone went home with a balloon.
Thanks Dale

the balloons turn into various creations.
This was by far the best entertainment
we’ve had at our family picnic,
something that was truly enjoyed by all!
I
don’t know how you did it, but you
remembered who had a balloon already and
who didn’t. You did a great job making
kids laugh and they didn’t mind waiting
their turn, which was a great help.
Thank
you for showing us such a wonderful show.

knew your personality would
be a big success at the event and you

Dale is easy to work with. He is fun to talk to and very professional when working.
Dale is an excellent performer. His "patter" is extremely funny. He makes the most incredible balloon creations I have ever seen. He explains, as he creates, how he is doing each step. Adults and children were all mesmerized.
- Mary Cullen, Head of Youth
Services, Palos Heights Public Library, April 2010
When
I hired "Magical Balloon-dude Dale" I expected
to see the typical orange giraffe or pink poodle
with he pon-pom tail. I was amazed to see the
beautiful "works of art" he created from balloons.
The audiences enjoyed chatting with him as
he made their personally chosen characters from
balloons. It was definitely a quality program
for all ages.
- Mary Cullen, Head of Youth
Services, Palos Heights Public Library, Nov 2008
Magical
balloon-dude Dale drew the largest audience we
have ever had for our Sunday Sampler program!
His show was designed for all ages, and all ages
were well represented and happily entertained
in the s SRO crowd.
From start to finish Dale was
a true professional, a pleasure to work with.
He arrived early to setup, his attire was perfect,
he was courteous and considerate. And flexible.
He altered his program to better suit our target
audiences for kids, teens and adults, and he
agreed to display his creation in the library
vs. giving them to the kids from the audience
who served as assistants. He also sent the
library a full color poster for promotional purpose.
Dale's program
was a change of pace from our musical offerings,
and the audiences was delighted. He had all
ages laughing at the comedy and marveling at
his ball creations.

Dale
made a lasting impression as not only as a man
with great talent, but asked a lot of questions
about my company that made me appreciate his
talent and generosity. Later on Dale came to
your booth first and honored one of my co-workers
with a balloon in the shape of a poodle. I later
saw him at this own booth and requested a Mickey
Mouse and he did a wonderful job. We exchanged
service cards and discuss the company he was
representing.
I described Magical Balloon-dude
Dale to co-words like this: Picture a man with
a vibrant, jacket of many colors asking a million
questions a minute about you and your product/service
while making any object possible out of latex
balloon. One of the most unbelievable things
I have ever seen that made me leaving the booth
asking myself “How
did he do that?” Noting, short of fabulous
one on one entertainment.
- Paul Hodges, Oz Fitness,
Cary, NC, 2008
Dale
worked to make our event excellent
by spending time before the event researching
what we do and working with us to get
the most out of his services. He has
an extraordinary level of energy which
was to bring people into our booth
space. I cant stress enough how many
compliments we received and how many
attendees ask where he was once he
left. Overall Excellent!

My
'Show Girl' Balloon hat really attracted
a crowd and lots of looks. My boss didn't
think I would wear it all day, but after
the great response and to just see people
smile and laugh, was well worth me wearing
it. It was a huge attention getter and
at such a large convention in Las Vegas,
you need all the help you can get to
have people stop at your booth. This
“Show Girl” Balloon Hat was
great and the Magical Balloon-dude Dale
does a fantastic job, very talented &
creative. Thanks for making our booth more
exciting and a real show stopper.

I
just wanted to take a minute to thank
you for being close to our booth at the
ASHHRA conference on Oct. 15th and 16th.
The conference was very slow for most
of the vendors this year because they
always had the attendees in meetings
but we were still able to capture a hit
rate of 17%.
|
|
I talked with a few
of my competitors at the conference and
they did not have near that hit rate.
I attribute this to you being two booths
down from us. You had people searching
for your wonderful balloon art and they
would always wonder past our booth on
the way to talk with the client you were
representing. It was absolutely amazing
to see all the people wondering around
talking about what you had created for
them. You have a real talent and it was
a joy to watch.

RE: Kids
Day Success - US Cellular Field - Chicago
White Sox Game Aug 12, 2007
Just
wanted to pass along a note about how enjoyable
Kids Day was this past Sunday. My 2 boys did
jumping jacks prior to the game, the fundamentals
deck, got pictures with SouthPaw and Ronald
McDonald, the rain room, tattoos, got great
balloon hats and finally ran the bases after
the game. Events like this continue to give
us Sox fans something to brag about to our
rivals on the North Side. Please don't change
a thing.
The balloon dude
Dale did a great job of getting balloons to
all kids and was very personable. He made the
minimal wait we had for the balloon hat enjoyable.
I plan to keep his name handy for events of
my own in the future. Keep him on the Kids
Day agenda moving forward!!!!!
