In 2015, my husband along with Thanksgiving Point, broke a world record for "largest modeling balloon sculpture by an individual."
Jeremy did all the balloon twisting and things required for breaking the record. Thanksgiving Point provided the space and paid for an adjudicator to come out. Both Jeremy and Thanksgiving Point did more than just what I mentioned and both names were on the certificate. It was a neat experience.
Because of that, a picture of our whole family (sans Jet), is in the 2017 Guinness Book of World Records, the actual book, with the giant balloon dog in the background.
This is what Thanksgiving Point said about it recently:
Last week, Thanksgiving Point went for a new world record, "most flower bulbs planted in an hour." They asked Jeremy to provide some decorations so Wednesday and Thursday, Jeremy twisted, and Thursday night I helped him deliver and place the finishing touches on eight 5-feet something inches balloon tulips.
Friday morning Thanksgiving Point attempted to break the record... and they did it!
Yay, Thanksgiving Point! We love you!
P.S. After the event, they put the balloon tulips around the visitor's center at the gardens. They were somewhat sad looking by the time we got to them Wednesday of this week to take them down.
We're still cute, though.
