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

How Soon Do I Need To Reserve A Bounce House / Inflatable


I frequently get the question on the phone, "When do I need to reserve my item?" or "How late can I get my bounce house?"  There is not perfect answer for that question.  There are a lot of variables that could affect the answer I give.  Some items we have multiples of, while others we only have one.  Other than graduation time, when I would suggest you call as soon as you know what day your party is, you can usually get by with a week to a week and a half before.  Again, I have to reiterate that this might not always be the case, but often times it can be.  If you have your eye on a specific item, and have a few days you want to check on, don't hesitate to call us here at A&S Play Zone and run those days by us!

Kid's Fest at The Greene


Everyone loves the Greene.  One of the best shopping environments in the Dayton region, the Greene always provides a great atmosphere for enjoying the company of friends and family.  Although I have always been impressed by the Greene's level of quality and service, I did not realize they put on such fabulous events like today's Kid's Fest.  Here is the event listing from the Greene's own website:  http://www.thegreene.com/events/eventdetail/tabid/3371/articleid/3435/kids-summer-fest.aspx.  
Here's what the website lists - 
Wax Hands
Face Painter
Photo Booth
Inflatables
Caricature Artist
Magician
Scavenger Hunt
Obstacle Course

...and much more!
Well you can guess who provided the inflatables.  
As you can see above, one of the popular bounce houses was our Buckeye Bounce, which the hometown Ohio State Fans accepted well.  We also brought out the Spongebob Squarepants Bouncer Combination unit, which kids absolutely loved.  The obstacle course the Greene mentioned?  Also from A&S Play Zone.  The choice was made to bring out the child friendly Fortress Obstacle course, shown below.  
Patrons appreciated the tropical theme, as the weather stayed comfortable in temperature, and a gentle breeze rolled through.  As I strolled around the grounds, taking in all the sights, from the 1960's Batmobile to a display of the surrounding cities' multiple squad cars, I met the magician.  His name was David McCreary, and he was fantastic!  David was personable, funny, and most importantly, excellent at his magic.  I don't want to give away too much, but my favorite trick from David was the card trick with his wallet.  Here is Mr. McCreary's Facebook page, if you want to look him up - https://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Comedy-Magic-of-David-McCreary/196171891771.  Also included in the festivities, was a wax hands station, a clown, and face painting.  
The other attractions brought by A&S Play Zone included our Dance Heads video station, and a Build-A-Friend stuffed animal building station.  Dance Heads is a unique booth style item, where, using green screen technology, participants have their singing heads placed onto dancing animated bodies, and sing along to their favorite song.  Upon completion, a copy of the video is emailed to their email address, and a picture is printed out as a keepsake.  The Build-A-Friend station featured animals of different sizes that could be stuffed with animal fluff, and dressed up with different outfits.  
Overall, everything at the Greene was a marvelous success, and we truly thank the Greene and it's staff for having such a great event!  And thank you to everyone who came out to enjoy the fun today!!

Homemade Lunch Party

Working at a party rental and inflatable rental company has plenty of perks.  One of them, specifically at A&S, is the fantastic cooking by some of the staff!  On one warm summer day each year, one of the more experienced cooks on the staff takes the time to prepare a feast for the rest of the company.  Everyone is invited in, and a great time is had by all!  The food consisted of chicken, burgers and hot dogs  as the main course.  Some of the sides involved macaroni, seasoned corn, beans of all sorts, and much more!  On top of the fabulous food comes the great camaraderie of those working at A&S.  The workers get along wonderfully, and everyone can be involved in the fun games and conversation.  With a warehouse full of inflatable rental equipment, how can people not have fun!  Bounce houses, obstacle courses, dunk tanks, and every other interactive inflatable anyone could want is available for the employees to enjoy.  Of course, every day is a fun day when you work at a party rental company!  If you are interested in working for this fantastic company, we are accepting applications on our website at <http://asplayzone.com/index.php?p=apply>.
