Party Rentals in the Colder Months

It may not be the be the most fun time of year for outdoor events, but that doesn't mean the fun has to stop!  As people begin to stay inside more, it brings the time for schools and other organizations to host indoor events, like a fundraising gala, to dances, and down the road, after prom events.

If your school is planning a night to raise money for future events, A&S Party Zone can provide everything necessary for a successful night.  Whether you need linens to create a feeling of an elegant night, or just bring out the idea of a more fun event, A&S Party Rental services has it.  We can also bring you out the tables and chairs for your evening meal.  The chairs have covers too, and can bring an event from just a dinner party to a classy event, all depending on what you want!  A&S can do catering for your event too, again, providing services based on what kind of night you intend to host.  Remember, you will need tables for the silent raffle prizes as well!  If you have a big space that you need to announce over, a microphone and speaker system would be great to have, and A&S party rental has that as well.

When you host a dance, sometimes there needs to be a few fun attractions to get people in a mood for fun.  Maybe you're looking for a way to make the dance more exciting and wild in general, which is where a foam party may come in handy.  If that's too crazy for you, adding an inflatable too as a way to get people moving and involved always is a hit!

We're a Fun Company Inside and Out!

What helps make A&S Play Zone such a great company is that we don't just supply fun to people, parties and schools, we have fun ourselves!  If you think about it, you'll likely realize that when you work at a place that has inflatable bounce houses and games all around, how can there not be an attitude of enjoyment?  Here are a few examples of what its like to be a part of the A&S team.  You won't walk through the front door without getting a greeting from somebody in the front office, unless you're the first one there, then it's up to you!  Throughout the day, somebody might be going through the inventory and decide to set up one of our inflatables or games, and everyone will spend some in the back with the items having fun.  Perhaps during the hot summer months, somebody wanted something to drink other than water or pop.  Well, we decided to set up the slushie machine to help keep the heat away.  Occasionally, we'll need to test the cotton candy machine or funnel cake maker, and that always means we all get a little dessert to supplement our lunches.  During some of the water testing periods, we used our paintless paintball blocks to build a water gun game that spanned beyond our parking lot.  This did carry over into the office a few times, with certain employees stashing water guns throughout the complex, and attacking other employees when they came near.  

These are just a few examples of the great times that people involved with A&S have had over one summer. A&S certainly has great opportunities for people who are hard working and friendly individuals.  So when we discuss our items, we always have a knowledge of how much fun they can be, because we love fun!  It's our business!

March Madness is Coming Soon!

After Michigan State dominated Michigan last night in one of coach Tom Izzo's better games in the rivalry, most people should have realized something.  Michigan State appears to be hitting their peak again, which means the best tournament in college sports can't be far away!  Whether you're an Ohio native cheering for a team up north, or the Flyers, Buckeyes, Bearcats, Musketeers, or Bobcats, or someone from Indiana rooting for the Hoosiers, Notre Dame, or Purdue, college sports fans are preparing for another great tournament.  Before you start mentally preparing your dream bracket, you should probably take a look at what implications there are over this next month.  You don't want to watch the game alone do you?  You could take it in a local sports bar, or, if they don't appreciate your loud criticisms of the referees and players, you could simply host it at your house.  The best March Madness party throwers know that keeping that great atmosphere is key, and A&S Play Zone actually has some great items to give your party that arena feel.  We have four great products that can help you prepare the food for kicking back and watching the game.  Previously we discussed our variety of concession machines, but the ones that work best for indoor, colder weather events are the popcorn, hot dog, nacho, and pretzel machine.  To make things even more appealing, you don't have to pay ten dollars per nacho box, and with all the people you'll have over, you'll start saving money in the first game.  Perhaps the best benefit though, is that you will never have to make the dangerous decision to run up to the concessions stand and miss a potential tournament making play.  You get to sit back and enjoy every moment.  So start thinking about that March Madness party now and how much better having your own concession machines can make your party great!

Olympics Parties!

It only happens once every four years, but the Olympics are back and it is a great time for the whole world!  The athleticism, the pageantry, and the friendly competition.  Even Dayton Ohio has a gold medalist from right here in the Miami Valley!  With such a period of festivities, it would make sense to have an Olympic party!  If you rent a bounce house, you could even perform your own Olympic activities!  Using our Demolition Ball or Boulder Dash, you can work on your balance.  The inflatable Defender Dome game center can be used for a multitude of games.  The most Olympic like inflatable we have is our blowup four person joust, or two person joust.  These inflatables have participants stand on pedestals and, while wearing protective head gear, fight with foam sticks who see who falls first.  

Most people use it as a great way to keep children entertained while the older members of the party talk and watch.  

Whatever you want for your Olympic party, whether it is chairs, tables, concession machines, slushy machines, we can help you out with it!

New Giant Inflatable Slide! 24 Feet Tall! Fun and Fast!

Today was the debut of A&S Play Zone's new blowup slide.  Towering at 24 feet tall and looming across our company's parking lot, I knew I was in the presence of something fun, something awesome.  The new vinyl glistened in the sunlight, and everyone stared up in awe.  Following its inspection by the state, the staff of A&S slid down the blowup object, and here come the rave reviews.  It was fun!  It was fast!  It's the best inflatable slide we have!  I myself climbed up the the center, sat down at the top, and went racing down.  It was a rush!  The 24 foot Giant Inflatable Slide is going to be A&S Play Zone's premier new item.  To try and describe it would be difficult, so the best thing I can say is to try it for yourself!  You can rent it for a personal party, graduation event, or block party celebration.  If that is not an option, you can be sure to find this giant blow up at local festivals, such as the GermanFest Picnic.

Here is the YouTube video, which is the closest you can get to experiencing this monster slide without actually riding it

Summer Training!

The management of A&S Playzone invited its attendant staff into their newly opened training room for a night of reviewing safety policies and regulations.  The evening began with the owner of A&S Playzone, Tammy Chapman, describing specific features and requirements of the over fifty inflatables that A&S has to offer.  The items fall into many categories, such as bounce houses (or moonwalks), wet and dry slides, and obstacle courses.

Attendants Listening to Safety Training Instructions from Tammy

Tammy first elaborated on safety policies designed by A&S itself, which strictly adhere to and exceed the state requirements and recommendations.  Some of the rules involve common sense, such as no flips in moonwalks, and no shoes, glasses or jewelry.  Attendants were taught these rules, as well as how to handle roughhousing in the inflatables.  The instruction included finite warnings that only a seasoned safety expert would know, such as to ensure that older kids were warned not to jump or push others into the mesh walls surrounding all bounce houses, to remove the risk of an individual tearing through the mesh. Continuing along the theme of moonwalk safety, the attendants in training were shown a fully inflated 15 x 15 moonwalk.

Tammy Gives a Hands-On Demonstration of Attending a Moonwalk

As the trainees gathered around one of our more popular bounce houses, Tammy began demonstrating specific safety checks that the attendants would be required to perform.  Depending on what surface the inflatable needs to be anchored to, attendants learned that they would have to check sandbags or stakes for proper anchoring to the ground and to the item.  Ensuring proper anchoring means ensuring that the inflatable will be able to handle winds without leaving the ground and endangering those in the bounce house.  Attendants did learn how to detect if wind speeds were approaching an unsafe level, and were told to deflate the moonwalk if this happened, reducing the object’s surface area so it could not be blown away.  In addition to learning safety measures, A&S staff described how to comply with state regulations.  This involves having a sheet with each inflatable that states the Ohio Revised Code, and a fire extinguisher.  When providing an inflatable to events, A&S also provides instruction manuals for all inflatables, along with copies of their dimensions.  Among many other topics that were covered that night, potential attendants discovered the difference between inflatable moonwalks, obstacle courses, slides (both wet and dry), and many other unique party equipment.

Overall, the safety training night was a fantastic success, and A&S Playzone and its entire team look forward to a fun and safe summer!!
