Vendor profile: Fun Faces and Balloons and Snow 2 Go


Tell me about your business.
We are Fun Faces and Balloons and now Snow 2 Go!! We provide amazing balloon designs and make beautiful art on all the faces and arms at the events we attend. Our new addition this year is our tasty shave ice. We shave our ice from a big block of ice giving us soft fluffy snow to flavor for you to enjoy.



What has been the most challenging part about being a business owner?
Sometimes it’s easy to just be like everyone else and do it like everyone else does. We strive to be different , to update our designs, and better our skills all the time. It can be hard keep creating, but we think it’s totally worth it.


What is the best part about working festivals?

We get to see so many people during festival season and we love seeing the same smiling faces year after year and getting to meet new people too.


    What inspired you to go into business?
    I was amazed at all the doors face painting and balloons opened when I first was exposed to the ideas on a missions trip. I was hooked. I could create art and love on people at the same time! It’s the smile that the kids have when they get that face painting, or balloon and they feel like a million dollars that keeps me painting and twisting. I love to see the memories families are making when they take time to enjoy some shave ice as they take in the fair.


    What is your favorite carnival food?

    Shave Ice and Funnel Cakes 🙂
