LOCAL SOUTH FLORIDA BALLOON PROFESSIONAL

HEADING TO INTERNATIONAL BALLOON BUILD


Hollywood FL – Lenor Ryan, owner of Lights Camera Selfies was chosen as part of a talented team of international balloon professionals tasked with creating a gigantic, immersive balloon creation with Qualatex balloons at the Balloon Wonderland event in Orlando, Florida, all in aid of the charity Give Kids the World.

 

Nearly four hundred balloon artists will join at the Hyatt Cypress Regency Hotel in Orlando from July 11th through July 15th, 2022 for Balloon Wonderland. In being part of this event, one of the largest, most unique balloon projects, Lenor will be using her skills she has developed over the last 5 years to create several fantastical themed areas such as Toyland, the Enchanted Forests, Dinosaur Land and Under the Sea in an area of nearly 30,000 sq. ft, with displays towering as high as 24ft in height.  Lenor has been selected to serve on the Dinosaur Land team.

 

“What an amazing event Balloon Wonderland is. Lenor is going to be part of creating many iconic pieces at Give Kids the World Village in a gigantic balloon display, all in support of Give Kids the World. Demonstrating how the joy of balloons can also make a difference in the lives of so many people.” said Stuart Davies, Producer of Balloon Wonderland.

 

Since 1986, Give Kids The World Village has welcomed more than 177,000 families from all 50 states and 76 countries. Providing week-long, cost-free wish vacations to critically ill children and their families from around the world at their 89-acre, not-for-profit resort.

 

During one transformative week at Give Kids the World, wish families laugh, play, and can be together away from the reality of the life-threatening illness and the obstacle course littered with doctor appointments, painful treatments, overwhelming expenses, and endless worry. A chance for families to capture precious moments.

 

It is a magical week of "YES" where wish kids experience the simple joys of childhood.

 

“For over 100 hundred years, Qualatex Balloons has introduced the most innovative products and education to the balloon industry,” said Susan Dhillon, Marketing Communications Director for Qualatex Balloons. "From the education and experience for balloon artists to the financial impact on the local community, and ultimately the benefiting charity, a win, win, win!"
