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!

-- Kristen Grant - Park Ridge, IL, June 2007

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

-- Scout Leader John Linse - Des Plains, IL, Feb, 2008

Dale was so good at balloon skills, he created a monkey without event looking at his hands, while entertaining the group surrounding him with comedy. Awesome!

-- Tracy Sims - First Presbyterian Church of Chicgo Heights

Dale has a great personality that he uses with the crowd! He is very quick witted and can change directions quickly.

I explained you as an attention getter -- personality all on your own.  Best balloon maker in a style I have never seen before. Dale is very entertaining with jokes and silly comments and the attendees got a kick out of your balloon creations.  You help make the grand opening of the Naperville Automotive Test Track a success.

Look forward to working with you again.

-- Breanne Kennedy - Naperville Convention and Visitor Bureau

Working with Dale was very professional and easy. He showed concern and interest in the best interest of his client. Dale arrived on time and the audience and attendees of the home coming rally were very pleased with is performance.

-- Minooka Home Coming Commette

Home of the Minooka Indians

Everyone in our family (young and old) had a wonderful experience and was in awe as they watched 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.

Sincerely

-- Donna Dicksen & Family

Dear Dale,

You were a big smash at your grand opening and people in the office are still talking about your balloon twisting this morning. Everyone loved you, your balloons characters, and your personality was a perfect fit with our group. Your interaction with the customer was awesome.

I knew your personality would be a big success at the event and you did not disappoint me at all. It sounds like you will be supporting us at future events and grand openings. I’m excited that everything went so smoothly and it was a great successfully.

Thank you; Thank you; Thank you.

--Vonda Payton, AAA Chicago Motor Club

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!

--Jessica Gochenour, Professional Research Consultants, Inc

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.

Sincerely:

-- John Faber, Vice President, Business Development, TodayCare, LLC

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.

--Cora Ferris, LSI International

The Chicago White Sox would like to thank you for your work as our Balloon Artist throughout the 2006 season. We were very pleased with your professionalism and it was a pleasure to work with you.

Go Sox!

Sincerely

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!!!!!

-- Tim Peterson - AT&T Business Premier Client Group Account Executive

Thanks so much for coming on the show with such short notice!

--Lara Mondragon, WGN Morning News

---Elizabeth Surma,Oak Forest, IL, Nov, 2007

Having the Balloon-dude at my great grand daughters's birthday party was a great success. Annie left the party saying how much she loved it, which made her parents and me very happy. I'm sure you will be seeing us again.

---Hellan Ambroshia, Orland Park, IL, Nov, 2007

Dale took control of the party and he did all the work. I just enjoyed every balloon creation he made. It was fantastic.

Dale's expertise in balloon creation is the best I've ever seen. His banter with guests has everyone laughing. The children treasured their balloon creations. This evening I saw Mickey Mouse, teddy bears, dolphin, Spiderman, a baby rattle (for a 2 year old) that hasn't been out of the child's' hand all night. There were so many different creators that evening. I believe whatever was asked for was made.

The guest at the party talked about Dale for weeks after the party. They couldn't get over the balloon creations he made

I would hire Dale again. It is money well spent.

---Mary Lou Butler, Lemont, IL, Oct, 2007

Dale is an entertainer like no other! He was able to keep the attention of 16 kindergarten boys! His balloon transformations were so awesome. I've never seen such works of balloon art before. My birthday boy loved his special birthday balloon hat!!

I have had Dale for two1st birthday parties. He entertains the kids at all different ages, even the adults. He is extremely professional and would recommend him to anybody. Dale's act is a great way to bring entertainment and fun to your party.

The adults were saying how great you were. We are obviously happy since this was the second time we had you at a party.

---Kim Katona, Munster, IN, March 2007

Dale is very friendly, outgoing and talented. I was able to sit back, enjoy my party without have to direct the him.

---Lisa Olsen, Oak Lawn, IL, March 2007

Amazing! Everyone loved the Magical Balloon-dude! The kids still talk about it a month after my daughter's party!

Dale goes way beyond the poodle. He's just magical! I will use him again.

---Karen Lunaburg, Crestwood, IL, February 2007

The first time I met Dale,  it was at my best friend’s daughters 3rd birthday party in Northbrook, IL.  I couldn’t believe how original some of the balloons were and the faces that Dale drew on their balloons.

I came home and told my husband what an awesome balloon entertainer I saw at the birthday party.  We then booked Dale for our own daughter’s birthday party and my husband was amazed! The kids and the adults loved him.

I learned at my party that some of my neighbors have had Dale do their own children’s parties (some dating back to the early 90’s). Dale is obviously pretty well known in the Chicago land area. I would recommend him over and over again.  We will probably have him back at our home in the future.

---Marybeth Schwieters, Homewood, IL, Februrary 2007

Very good. Dale's ballon creations were beautiful and he was ver nice to work with.

---Karin Ochs, Oakbrook, IL, February 2007

---

We have known Dale for a number of years from the ChicagoYacht Club and this was the first time we had the opportunity to book him for a party of our own. He was a huge hit and the kids loved him and had a great time.

He is fantastic and gifted with children and balloons!

---Regina Wootton, Evanston, IL, January 2007

Dale was amazing!! He showed up on time (actually early) and immediately began to entertain. He had twenty five 3 year olds totally memorized as well as all of their parents. Every person at the party had a total blast and could not get enough of his magic balloons. Dale is social, funny and truly talented. If you haven’t experienced Dale the dude, you haven’t experienced balloon making. It was a true pleasure to have Dale at our party and he’ll be the first entertainer we’ll call for future parties.

Thanks again!

---The Henricksen’s, Northbrook, IL, January 2007

From the moment Dale introduced himself I felt like he was a part of the family. Dale’s easy going personality and happy spirit helped him to fit right in…Our sons First Birthday was a very special occasion and we wanted the entertainment to be perfect. Dale spent 2 hours performing for 25 children and 50 adults and everyone had a ton of fun!!

Dale is a genius with balloons and really has perfected his talent. I still have friends and family calling us... 1 week after our party, to “rave” about the Magical Balloon-dude. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect entertainer… We’ll be calling Dale for all our parties! He is fabulous!!

--- Hillari Jacobs, Deerfield , IL, January 2007

If you want a memory for your child that will never be forgotten, invite Dale to your child’s party. As soon as he began all 40 children were captivated.  They all had their eyes glued on him; he had them laughing, giggling and delighted.

Absolutely exceeded all expectations, was the pinnacle of our 6 year olds party. Made balloons that you could never imagine!

An absolute professional, I would recommend Dale for any event.

--- Chuck Stenek, Inverness, IL, December 2006

Awsome Balloons Dude! He is a blast to work with - Love the sense of humor!

-- Beth Jarchow, Mokena, IL, November 2006

Magical Balloon-dude Dale was the best balloon artist we ever had. I hasd used a few others and by far he is the best!
