Amazing Balloons

Tammy Loza and Charlie Soria, owners of Amazing Balloons, LLC has been selected from hundreds of Balloon Professional applicants to help create the USA’s very first Big Balloon Build.

Fifty-five (55) balloon artists from around the world are traveling to the City of Vincennes, Indiana in April 2022 to create a massive candy themed wonderland using 125,000 balloons, with giant ice cream cones, colossal cotton candy clouds, and larger than life sweets to inspire the children in the community.

Hasbro Inc, one of the largest toy companies in the world, has granted permission to use its trademarked game, Candy Land as the inspiration for a GIANT board game out of balloons, the first time in history this has ever been attempted.

Following negotiations with the global toy company, Hasbro Inc. Stuart Davies, Creator and Director of the Big Balloon Build said “This is unbelievable news, Hasbro Inc has granted the Vincennes Big Balloon Build in April 2022 the right to reproduce the entire Candy Land Board game including the characters from within the game, and we are now going to build a full-size Candy Land board game out of 125,000 balloons. Imagine you will be able to walk by King Kandy and his Giant Candy Castle as well as walking through a giant Lollypop Forest … and to take it further, United Way of Knox County Indiana has plans to enable children and families to actually play the giant board game!”

“You will literally be one of the pieces in the board game itself … talk about a real-life Jumanji!” said Davies, Director of the Big Balloon Build. Davies has been creating Big Balloon Builds in Wales, UK for the past seven years, but this is the first time it will be developed in the US. He is already developing several more in other states to happen after this Candy Land themed build is done.

The Big Balloon Build that Tammy and Charlie are part of, will be gifted to United Way of Knox County to help them raise awareness and funds for over thirty charities that they service in the community. So far, United Way has already raised over $60,000 for its charities from the upcoming activities associated with this build making a difference to the lives of the people of Knox County.

“We are super excited to take part in this Amazing opportunity because it gives us a chance to show how much we enjoy sharing our art with the community. We get a chance to work together, learn new things, and gain experience with other talented artists like us from around the world! There’s no better feeling than seeing the smile upon people’s faces when they are Amazed by our Balloon Designs!” said Tammy Loza, of Amazing Balloons.

Mark Hill, Director of United Way of Knox County said, “I am so excited and grateful that Tammy Loza and Charlie Soria, with Amazing Balloons will be joining us to make an impact on our community.”

“It’s one of the most selfless and inspiring events I’ve seen and the fact that there are others in our industry wanting to help the people of my community is humbling,” said Liz Romani, of Valley Party Supply – the Vincennes balloon host company for this build.

Lacey Lane of United Way, who is organizing all of the events following the Build said “we feel this full size Candy Land supporting United Way will go a long way to helping the children of Knox County to recuperate following the isolation and impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and to also generate significant awareness and income for the over thirty non-for-profit agencies and programs that we as United Way provide to children and young people in the community”

A HUGE “thank you” to Pioneer Worldwide for providing the highest quality balloons for the Big Balloon Build and to Premium Balloon Accessories for providing the professional grade equipment that will be used in creating this Candy Land themed Big Balloon Build.
