Dru's Balloons
Overview
Bringing the smiles Valley Wide! I've been twisting balloons for 33 years and the best part is seeing someone's smile when they see their balloon creation come to life! I believe balloons are great for all ages and pride myself on providing a "menu" of fun creations for every event!

November 4, 2025Great experience with Dru
We held a family fun night at an elementary school. Dru was so great at providing balloon decor for our selfie station and stayed as our balloon artist. She was great to work with from the planning phase to the clean up. She communicated well and promptly. We had a great experience working with Dru and can't wait to have her again for other events.

What to expect
Your quoted price ALWAYS includes ALL of the balloons, my travel time and cost as well as my own setup! I have a small 4ft table and can fit almost anywhere at your event. Once I make that first balloon, I become very popular so I generally set up at the location you select and the families find me quickly! Planning an evening event? Be sure there is ample lighting where you plan to place me so everyone can see the balloon colors, menu board and most importantly, their balloon creation!
About
"Then how old are you?!" This is the question I get when I tell them the bird balloon is the first balloon I learned to make 33 years ago! I started making balloon animals at a local summer festival with my youth group and I've enjoyed creating fun balloons and smiles ever since! I'm a competitive gymnast and love creating the opportunity for all people to live an active life!

My table is very small and I can fit almost anywhere at your event! Be sure to plan a little space in front of my table for the long line to form!

Influences and inspiration
I often see balloon twisters creating very elaborate designs that take a lot of time to create. These twisters are AMAZING! I've chosen a bit of a different approach having the feedback that kids and their families want to move quickly through my line and still be impressed and wowed. By keeping my designs more straight forward and quick, it ensures everyone gets a balloon and a smile and has time left over to enjoy the other activities offered!
Setup requirements
None! I have my own table and set up - nothing for you to provide!
Hot and sunny day? Be sure to have space in the shade so the balloons don't get too hot (the heat will ruin the balloons)
