Andy J

Last, but certainly not least was AndyJ. For a guy that left it o the last minute to exhibit, he certainly made a big splash. While no one exhibitor dominated, he certainly tried!

It was nice seeing the imported inflatables against the ones made at his factory. They both had pros and cons. I noticed a different material on the imported ones and definitely preferred the ones made locally.

The printing on both looks fantastic, and it was used liberally, rather than printing only down ones side of a unit or used sparingly on the inside.

There was an obstacle course int he second hall that looked so bright and colorful, it really stood out with so much printed artwork all over. The price was incredible, too.

The basketball game was good, I liked how the ball returned.

If anyone wasn't sold on the idea of a deflator fan, then you got to see it work in person; And work it did!

The old black deflator fans did not really do what you wanted them to. The tube sucked together and it just didn't work. People was carrying carpet tubes in the back of their vans to kind of make it happen...

This new deflator fan concept actually does what it says. It has a castle deflated properly in under two minutes. You could roll it up smaller and it's not even any more expensive than a regular fan on the market, plus it's much more rugged!

I genuinely think other fan manufacturers are going to have to do something. If they stay still and don't innovate, they will a fond memory in years to come.
