BALLOON COUTURE FASHION SHOW
The 2010 Balloon Couture Fashion Show promises to be bigger and better than ever before! Four (4) of the top industry Master Designers will be invited to create three (3) fashions for showing at the Tuesday Evening, August 10th reception. In addition three (3) talented designers will be asked to create a couple of designs to be shown on the runway. We expect a larger than ever number of designers entering the “Top Fashion Designer” Award competition. In 2010 we will have two categories in the main competition, Inflated and un-inflated Balloon Fashions. For the first time a new category has been added to allow the young people of our industry to show their creativity. The “Aspiring Fashion Designer” Award will be awarded to one of those under age 18 who design and create a fashion for the show. Another highlight will be the “First Timers” category with fashions made by balloonists who have never had a design in the Fashion Show. All in All, it promises to be a fantastic night in Celebration of the ARTISTRY OF BALLOON COUTURE!

Hot and cold hor’dourves at the Fashion Show and a served dinner at the Final Night Gala round out the taste treat to the palette. You’ll dine in comfort and style in the Sam’s Town LIVE showroom.
 
NETWORKING
Throughout your Balloon Camp experience you will have the opportunity to network with Balloonists from around the world. In 2009, nineteen (19) countries were represented! Here’s a chance to learn, share and make new friends with people who care about the industry as much as you do!
 
BALLOON JAMS
In 2010, Decorators will have their opportunity to do what Twisters have been doing for years, JAM! After a day of classes and the nighttime parties, you can Jam until 2 in the morning. Here’s a chance for Decorators and twisters alike to experiment, share and learn tips and tricks that will help you in your business. In 2010, the Jam Room will have enough round balloons for the decorators to explore new ways of doing things!
 
DESIGNER'S DESK
What started at Balloon Camp will continue in 2010. The DESIGNER’S DESK offers everyone the opportunity of sitting down with Master Designers for one-on-one help and consultation on specific jobs you may have planned. An hour spent with the Masters can help you design and plan that corporate event or small party that is stumping you.
