    The glam, glitz and glitter of a duo female show!

    The Silver Starlets is an all-female

    Full of glam, glitz and glitter,
    the Starlets use a 20 foot high
    free-standing trapeze rig as
    their stage. They twist, tumble,
    bend, climb and fall, getting the
    audience cheering, laughing
    and sometimes even
    dancing right along with them.
    But don’t let their tutus fool you.
    The Silver Starlets captivate their
    audience with family-friendly charm,
    beautiful grace, and amazing strength.

    “They call themselves The Silver Starlets but
    you can expect a gold-medal performance that
    sparkles like a diamond.”

    Balloon Walk

    A Balloon Walk consists of a hot-air balloon that is anchored at the top end, and at the bottom end, and then inflated with cold air by use of an inflation fan. Rather than standing the balloon with air that is heated by the burner, the balloon is kept inflated with just the cold air. A large, heavy mat is placed over the 'skirt' at the bottom end of the balloon, making it easily accessible for children of all ages, including those in wheelchairs.

    The public can then enter and view the balloon from the inside (without shoes). To make the experience even more fun for children, we typically introduce large inflatable balls for them to play with while they are in the balloon. *This activity is wind and weather dependent and will happen at select times.
