A Brief History of

The Unique Twist &
Twisting Crew
" Where Balloon Animals Are Not Just Dogs Anymore ! "
The Unique Twist was started in 1995, by Doug, as a simple but
Entertaining Way to Amuse and Amaze Both Family and Friends.
Starting with only one book and one bag of balloons, the first couple of
months were quite entertaining, as the same dozen or so, balloon animals
were made over, and over, and over.
Both family and friends grew tired of dogs and such, and encouraged more
creations, which led to more creativity on my end, to keep them satisfied.
More training with books, vhs instructional tapes and cds resulted in many
more different balloon creations which led to more satisfied customers and
opened many more doors.
Not long afterwards, family and friends grew to include more and more folks
wanting balloon creations, and thus , the business expanded to include
private parties, small events, and private picnics.
After many successful " Kids Festivals", The Unique Twist
expanded again to take on new clients, new events: including craft shows,
school carnivals, church events, restaurants, trade shows, fun fairs, and all
types of festivals both indoors and outside.
Word of mouth from these events quickly resulted in even more work requiring
more artists, yet that was still down the road.
Yet even as the business " ballooned", the focus remained the same.
To bring happiness and smiles to people of all ages through unusual and
unique balloon creations.
Thus the name---- The Unique Twist
Starting in early 2009, additional Twisters were added to the
The Unique Twist.
We have had many talented and professional artists working with us and
always continue to seek more talented individuals to our team.
In 2011 the name changed to The Unique Twist & Twisting Crew to reflect the
fact that even more artists were working to make events special with balloon
entertainment.
All in all, The Unique Twist & Twisting Crew has grown from just
a few minor and small events per year-- to many major venues and events per
month as well as private parties and others.
Even as the number of creations made expanded, (currently over (430), and
the number of events grew bigger the mission has remained the same no
matter the size or type of event....
To have fun and bring smiles and happiness to the young and young at heart,
by providing Quality Balloon Art Fun, and Entertainment to make people smile!
