Associated Press Explores the Life of the Founder of My Own Pet Balloon

Treb Heining, founder of GlassHouse Balloon Company and creator of My Own Pet Balloons, was recently discussed for an article written by the Associated Press.? The piece, entitled ?When the balloons inflated, so did a man?s career? features Heining?s love for balloons and the many successes that were a result of his passion for these wondrous helium-filled orbs.

Heining?s enthusiasm for balloons began at 15 when he obtained a job selling balloons on the streets of Disneyland.? The article discusses his contributions to Disneyland including the idea to create the popular ?ear-shaped balloons of Mickey Mouse that bob magically for weeks inside the even bigger, round-shaped balloons.?? This outer balloon is known as the glasshouse balloon.

The article goes on to chronicle his talents with balloon decorating for celebrity parties including the world?s first balloon arch. ? Heining was doing a celebrity party for ” Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, in 1979 when he built a huge archway of balloons over the backyard tennis courts. She posed for a picture under it and suddenly everybody seemed to want one.?

Treb ?The Balloon Man? Heining would soon evolve to become the ?go-to guy? for balloons.? He has rained down millions of balloons for Super Bowls, Olympic Games, presidential nominating conventions and countless public events.

Last, but by no means least, the article highlights Heining?s creation of My Own Pet Balloons saying ?more recently he came up with pet balloons, those Mylar jobs you see kids proudly ?walking? on leashes all over shopping malls.?

“I guess you can say I didn’t come very far. I’m still in balloons, the same thing I was when I

was 15,? Heining jokes.? ?But we’ve kind of pushed the boundaries a little bit.?

Meet The Balloon Industry Pioneer

Balloon artist and impresario Treb Heining turned an unlikely skill and a daydream into a worldwide industry. While working as a balloon vendor at Disneyland at age 15, Treb discovered he was a wizard at tying balloons. He dreamed of turning his unusual talent into a career and the results have dazzled millions of people around the world for the past 40 years.

As the originator of balloon ?d?cor,? Treb?s work still sets the industry benchmark.? He has created dozens of now common effects and products that people take for granted, including balloon arches, columns, lettering, sculptures and more.? And, in a return to his roots, Treb invented the most popular balloon in the world, the magical Mickey Mouse ?Balloon within a Balloon? that is ubiquitous at Disney parks.

No challenge has ever been too great for Treb and his philosophy of
“Ya know what we could do…” has resulted in breathtaking spectaculars that push the boundaries of size, shape and number of balloons used.? Here are just a few highlights of his amazing career:

  • Treb?s signature balloon art has helped create the festive atmosphere at 16 NFL Super Bowl extravaganzas and set the tone at U.S. national political conventions every year since 1988 ? along with two Presidential Inaugurations
  • Treb helped launch the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles, and commemorated the 200th Anniversary of the U.S. Constitution with a 50 x 100 foot American flag at Philadelphia?s Independence Hall
  • Disney has always had special meaning for Treb, and the numerous spectaculars he created on their behalf included making one million balloons for the 84th Walt Disney birthday celebration
  • Treb invented the balloon arch that symbolizes

    the emotional finish line of marathons and running events around the world

  • And, beyond balloons, 2011 will be Heining?s 20th year to reign as Times Square ?Confetti King,? responsible for dropping upwards of 3,000 pounds of confetti on New Year?s Eve

Now, Heining is orchestrating the U.S. launch of MyOwnPet Balloons?, the first-of-their ?breed? menagerie of balloon animals that can gallop, walk and hop thanks to a special weighted design keeps the pets grounded.? Stay tuned for more innovative products and fresh ideas from Heining who is always on the lookout for new ways to captivate audiences with balloon artistry.

Inspire Your Child With A My Own Pet Balloon

My Own Pet Balloons were featured in a review by Cassie, from the blog In Random. Cassie received the pony and the reindeer just in time for Christmas as a surprise for her little girl. She loved that these toys helped to inspire imagination and creativity in children, unlike some of

popular video games. Cassie was quite impressed with the construction of the balloon, ?The balloon is made quite well and has welded seams that help it stay inflated. I honestly thought the first time my daughter went to hug the balloon, it was going to be a goner, but it has held up to her hugging, kissing, and yes she even nibbled the reindeers tail,? she said. Cassie was thrilled to have such a fun and creative toy for her daughter on Christmas morning she even thought of getting one for her husband to keep at work to remind him to relax and have a little fun.
