Safety with Inflatables

You can have fun with inflatable slides, moonwalks, bouncehouses, and other games - but be careful not to do it at the expense of your own safety.... like this guy:

Good thing he slid down before flying over the side! Maybe next time, instead of trying to catch him, the viewers can encourage the father and son to race against the clock (at separate times). Blooper tapes don't always end up as harmless as this one...

Insurance - Party for Wellness Part 3

At Bobby K, we get many requests from families who want to inflate a bounce house or something similar in their backyard. But those families are often turned off by our prices for those smaller functions.

The reason we may seem expensive for birthday parties and family reunions is because we send our own staff members with the products. For insurance reasons, it's impossible for us to drop off a bounce house and pick it up hours later. The inherent risks are not worth the rewards.

However, our strict insurance and rental policies are just some of the reasons why Bobby K Entertainment is the leader in events like company picnics, college campus parties, and high school post-prom parties in the Northeast. These businesses love that we can bring the most fun and the safety to go with it.

Whether you're a single family or a large corporation, we're always here to answer your questions. Feel free to browse our website and contact us today for more information: www.BobbyK.com. 

Team Building - Party for Wellness Part 2

A company picnic should be an opportunity for employees to strengthen and build relationships with each other. It should be a relaxing break from the day-to-day routine, and should provide healthy competition, creativity, and family-friendly fun.

Inflatable bounce houses or moon walks are great for the kids. Mechanical bulls are fun and challenging for all ages. But Bobby K Entertainment can also provide products that are real team builders. Check out this list of 5 great activities for problem-solving, teamwork, and creativity:

1. Photo Scavenger Hunt
   Employees and their families can go on a realistic "Treasure Hunt" that features your corporation or the landscape where you host the company picnic.
2. Mission Possible Laser Maze
   Watch as your co-workers try to navigate their way through a "laser maze" with blacklights, fog, and a prize at the end. Time them for company bragging rights.
3. Human Foosball
   Five players per team are strapped to poles that allow them to move side-to-side, but NOT forward or backward... just like foosball players. See which team scores the most after a set time limit.
4. Competition Site
   See what happens when professionals compete against each other in childhood favorites like Water Balloon Toss, Potato Sack Race, Tug-of-War, and Limbo.
5. Photo Booth
   Don't hand out the stuff that everyone else hands out. Set up a Bobby K Photo Booth at your next company picnic and let your employees choose what they want (photo key chains, puzzles, clocks, mouse pads, etc.). Customize any of these products with your logo!

Creating Friendships that Last - Party for Wellness Part 1

Graduating, retiring, moving away, starting a new career... all these things give us a bittersweet feeling. But instead of getting all sappy and sad and focusing on the "bitter," why not turn your attention to the "sweet?"

In the last post, I talked about Project Graduation - what a great way for high school students to relax after working so hard for 4 years! It's also a perfect ending to the time spent together. The last thing they'll remember about high school is the fun they had at Project Graduation. It's all about 'leaving on a high note.'

So why not take that philosophy and use it for your other bittersweet parties? Your co-workers would love to say their good-byes over a Fantasy Casino poker table rather than the office vending machine. Your neighbors will want to follow you out of town if your moving away party has an inflatable obstacle course instead of a sprinkler to run through. And imagine if everyone left with a strip of pictures from a Photo Fun picture booth!

The point is you can create friendships that last if you leave a lasting impression. Don't settle for what your school, your business, your organization, or your neighborhood has always done... suggest something different for the next bittersweet party and everyone will forget about that "bitter" part!
