Ubi the Clown

Mirth, Merriment & Shenanigans for Children of All Ages!

Post-pandemic Parties!

Ubi the Clown and John the Balloon Man hated missing all the fairs, festivals and parties almost as much as the people who host those events did. We’re all vaccinated now, and we have antibodies, and we’re ready to come to your birthday party or special event! Balloon animals and clown magic, ready to travel from Raleigh to the coast.

Hoops and Balloons at PC Medevac’s Carnival in Cary, NC

Karen the Hula Hoop Lady and John the Balloon Man took their fun and frivolity to the PC Medevac Carnival on Saturday, July 27, in downtown Cary, NC. The Carnival is held every year in support of Reedy Creek Elementary School’s Drive to Thrive program. The staff at PC Medevac collect school supplies to fill backpacks for children going back to school.

In the tank! (We think his mother threw this toss….!)
Bouncy houses are built for younger and smaller children. Ask us how we know…
Check out the slant on that seat–he’s going in! (His mother hit the switch behind the tank…)
Super PC Repair Techs!
Catering by Design provided the food. Most excellent.

More Lulu.
More hooping and balloon millinery.
Clearly, she has already been in the tank.
John made up some balloon toys. The sign says, “Bigger is Easier” and refers to hula hoops.

Fun at Croakerfest 2013, in Oriental, NC

John the Balloon Man and Karen the Hula Hoop Lady entertained children of all ages at Croakerfest 2013. After several weeks of exceptional rain, the weather cleared. Cool breezes kept the temperature bearable, and the festival was lively and active all day. CroakerFest is the prettiest festival we work all year. Some of these pictures explain why we like it so much.
