Award-winning balloon artist, Nick the Balloonatic, will teach the history of balloons and share how balloons impact art, science, math, geography, and even safety. With more than 30 years of experience in balloon artistry, Nick has twisted balloons all over the world. At this event, he will interact with you and your family — all while sculpting balloons, laughing, joking, and making everyone feel special.
