A Professional Poker Dealer can make your party fun

As summer draws to a close we all look forward to the Holidays.  We at  abouncybear.com do also. In that regard we carry a full line of party supplies, among  and including casino supplies. Hosting a casino event as a fundraiser is much more fun then having a bake sale, or a  car wash for instance.  If you are interested in hosting a  neighborhood fundraiser you should first call the town clerk and ask about rules. If she cannot help you she can at least point you in the right direction.

These days there are a lot of online casino games but, nothing beats the real thing. We have a  roulette table for for rent, dealers for hire, poker tables, poker tables, blackjack tables, and craps tables. Of course we carry chairs and regular tables and tablecloths as well as some neat lighting to go along with your party. We also have professional poker dealers for hire starting at about 30 dollars an hour.

Casino type parties are also great for anniversary type parties too. What to start with – well poker of course!

Halloween is right around the corner, and here are some fun ideas from HGTV for party games for kids, and well of course – don’t forget to set up a bounce house outside too. Our bounce houses are good to about 50 degrees. The kids don’t even notice the cold and you can cover the outside of the bounce with fake spider webs and big plastic spiders too, add a black light and you are all set and sure to be the hit of the neighborhood.  You could also add our human spider wall if its warm enough.

What do you think might make a great Halloween outside party for kids? leave a comment

Many people don’t know that we carry tables for rent, chairs and beautiful white tablecloths. The rectangular tables are folding banquet tables and can seat comfortably six adults.  There are also five foot round tables. There is also a beverage fountain to rent complete with recipes.  Our  chairs are black folding ones.

Very often when you have a big event, like a wedding or anniversary party you simply do not have the chairs or tables to accommodate your planned attendance. Would you not like to have them delivered to the door of the event and picked up there after the event is over?

If it is an outside event we also have canopies that are ten foot by foot that you can rent?

Floor or Table Top Heater available

The weather is getting cooler. Its still early enough to have an outside party. What about a football party? You could get a bounce house for the kids and one of our free standing or table top heaters.

Then invite your friends and BBQ and have fun watching the game while the kids are occupied in the bounce house. This is a perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon. The heater will keep everyone cozy, although, kids bouncing don’t seem to complain about being cold.

We have a new hot dog machine in which you can cook up to 24 hot dogs at once for rent also. And of course tables, chairs and a snow cone machine for the kids. Of course it goes without saying that you should have a cooler stocked with beverages, Having a computer set up and online and ready to go might also be nice so the guests can check on different things.

You can get specialty theme items from NFL Football Parties

great fun for a seven year old boy's party

Its kind of like splat. If you put on one of the suits that come with this interactive blow up game, and take a running leap toward the back wall you never know how you will end up.

This is a game for the active four year – to maybe ten year old crowd. They would appreciate it the most. Kids in this age group are usually silly and giggly and with this game there is a lot to giggle about.

The suits that rent with this unit come in different sizes.  It has been my experience that boys in certain age groups love to do flips.

Make sure you have your video camera ready and let the kids have at it. It should tire them out and produce some nice blackmailing video for when they are older.

Gobo Image machine, good for some great effects!

There are some really neat lighting fixtures that we rent.   For a eerie effect you should consider lighting, for a Halloween party. Now I am not talking about your traditional lights. We have for rent, the Gobo Image Machine, that allows you to take any image you want and display it across the floor, wall or ceiling of your event.

Then we have LED effect cube furniture that is a great way to spice up the event. These have a spooky appearance. We carry them in cube or rectangular tables. The tables also have a clear top to set your drinks on

We  also have black lights, and laser lights. There are inflatable totems that have a eerie whitish glow and an imaginative person could drape them with black Halloween spider webbing for a great effect – or lettering with outlandish graveyard sayings. We also have bubble machines which the kids and adults love.

Do not buy a Fog Machine – you can rent one from us for forty dollars for the day and we will set it up for you. Fog release can be manual or set by a timer.

Make the Bounce House more fun with Games!

There are games to play in the bounce house to make it even more fun and wear the kids out faster.
You can for instance throw a bunch of inflated balloons in the bounce house – lots of them. The kids will love this.

Do you remember the game red light- green light? This can be a lot of fun. Yell green light and everyone will bounce. Yell  red light and everyone freezes. The last one to totally freeze has to get out. The last one in the bounce house wins! The variation on this is when you give them instructions as to what to do when everyone starts moving again , stuff like – hop on one leg, roll around ont he floor, hop like a kangaroo.

How about a crab kick with those balloons? have the kids get on all fours and throw in the ballons – they are only allowed to kick out with their back legs, the one whose balloon is the lowest kicked has to get out. Of course if the child falls over they are out too.
Then of course there is the game of peter piper. Remember that? Make up some silly movements for the kids – and you be the piper – or an older child and then stand outside the bounce and observe as the piper calls out what to do. You can eliminate kids based on how well or fast they do movements the piper calls out.

Being a former bounce operator – I always let the kids take plastic squirt guns full of water into the bounce on a hot summer day. It won’t hurt the bounce and if you think about it there are all kinds of fascinating games you can come up with for the kids to play with them.

Have an idea for some more games? We would love to hear from you!

Batman is always fun

Face painting is fun. Kids love it. Parents usually do also. We work  at a Bouncy Bear with some great talent. The problem of course with face painting is that it is a temporary thing.  Parents ought to have their cameras ready so as to take a snapshot. If nothing else as the child ages it will be a great memory for them and their kids to see a neat photo. Maybe you could post it on a online album somewhere so as to preserve the memory.

The reason face painting is so popular with kids is a little of a mystery. I suppose it might have to do with the fact that children are always told they cannot draw on themselves.

Then along comes this face painter  - who can and does and mom isn’t yelling. Here are a few pix from some of our face painters.

Grove Cleveland lost his second re-election to the presidency because of his stance with unions and striking railroad workers. As a bid to keep himself in office he decided to give the public an official Labor Day. Well, one thing for sure, it generally means a three days of work free fun. Anyway that was the intention, of course some of us still work. However, for those of us not working, this holiday is usually pure family fun.

This wind dancer, screams that there is something going on

So how about a family party BBQ. Make invitations – the old fashioned kind, that you put on a stamp and mail them around the middle of the month. Invite the neighborhood, have the kiddies take around fliers. You can ask everyone to bring a dish of food or so. Call us and order one of our air dancers for the day and put it at the end of your driveway, get a bunch of tables and chairs (we rent those also), a bounce house or a waterslide for the kiddies, and lots of cool party lights. There are carnival games also.

Rent a Margarita Machine, $150 for the day. Comes with first mix- 5 gallons and 100 cups (Alcohol not included). 8 different types of mixes to choose from.

Take a look at our main page at all the stuff we have! and look through our stuff. We can deliver and help set up the party. This party will save you lots of expensive gas money – and you will have the comfort of your own home to hold it in. Besides, the kids will remember this kind of activity because its family run for a long time.
