Mardi Gras and bounce house rentals

Well this week was more about Mardi Gras then bounce house rentals. I do not remember a weekend in my 42 years that they stuffed so many parades into such a short period of time. The weather really created havoc on this very special 4 day weekend we call Mardi gras weekend.. You have to give the people that ride and attend the parades credit for never giving up. I was totally shocked over the fact Endymion still went on with the weather. And the biggest shock was how many people braved the elements to see the parade. I was still running around delivering bounce house rentals and trying to make sure we did not get delayed by parades and the traffic. A lot of people still rent them instead going to the parades.  They also like to introduce out of town family to the bounce house rental experience. They just are not as popular in other cities around the country. Well I know this was not the most exciting blog but I was also enjoying a little Mardi Gras. Have a great week.

Even a bridge cannot stop us and our party rentals

Okay another weekend in the books for 2012. We had so much to worry about this past weekend from Mardi gras to making sure the units were dried and clean from the previous weekend. As everyone knows we do not clean our units on site when picking them up. We take them and re-open them at our warehouse in Harahan to clean the spacewalks in bright light properly. And then we had to make sure not to run into all the parades going on from Metairie to New Orleans to the Westbank. Well somehow we avoided all the parades in the area and all deliveries were made on time and were not slowed down at all. The only problem we ran into was the Hale Boggs bridge that was closed coming back Northbound from Luling. But in the end the only adjustment we had to make was letting one of our customers keep the princess spacewalk longer. I think they were quite happy though. So in the end the bridge just made a customer happier and us just have to drive a little further. Well I have to get ready for another Mardi gras slash party rental filled weekend.

Rainy weekends for inflatable bounce houses and water slide rentals

I just wanted to thank everyone that worked with us this past weekend. I know it was hard planning the party with such a high chance of rain. As you know it turned out Saturday raining around 3:30pm and not letting up for a little while. But in the end I hope all your inflatable bounce house rentals were okay and most importantly the kids were happy. As far as Sunday what a beautiful day that turned out to be. The drivers were out early getting everything delivered and cleaned and dried out if it went out the day before. Thanks to all those people that were so patient while we made sure there parties were okay. But I am so happy the weather was beautiful on Sunday and at least most of Saturday. Well as you know now we have to open all those wet inflatable bounce house rentals and clean them and dry them out for another weekend of parties. We want to make sure everyone is happy this weekend.
Thanks again,
Joe
