News Flash! Balloon Man Visits Concord
Students gathered in the Student Center lobby on September 9 to witness the amazing and creative Louis Paul, also known as the famous Balloon Man. Balloon Man was on campus from noon to 4 PM and delighted Concord students with his colorful and whimsical creations, including animals, hearts, flowers, and a variety of other objects. Students stood by with smiling faces and eager expressions as the Balloon Man turned tiny rubber tubes into playful works of art.
Paul has been given the unique but prestigious title of “The Best Balloon-Artist on College and University Campuses Today” by Andrew Sulgit, the Director of Student Activities and Student Center. Sulgit was responsible for uniting Concord students with the Balloon Man. The Balloon Man was such a hit that Sulgit was awarded an enthusiastic round of applause by the Student Government Association at their weekly meeting. Board of Governor’s representative Adam Rose led the applause, calling for everyone to thank Sulgit for yet another unique and entertaining campus experience.
Paul is a professional bender of latex and he has been perfecting his craft and making people smile with his clever creations for over thirty years. His skills are unmatched and he always creates a variety of fun pieces, but the one thing Paul never fails to create, no matter where he goes, are broad smiles from his audience.
Everyone who visited Paul during his stay was encouraged to either keep their balloon creation or give it to a friend so the fun could extend even past his own reach. Students crowded the area throughout the event’s entirety and it was hard to navigate through the chaos. Although each balloon was impressive and fun, the most popular balloon productions seemed to be flowers, cats, and hearts.
Overall, the event was small, but students didn’t seem to mind. Instead, each participant patiently waited in line for their turn to witness the amazing Balloon Man bend and wiggle tiny sculptures into existence.
