In 2018, I was asked by a fellow balloon twister/decorator (a teen in Topeka) to help her do a balloon drop for Shriners in a hotel ballroom. She had no experience, I had very little. One thousand balloons in a large net with a ripcord and hung from the ceiling. Shriners were pissed because they thought we were going to hide it somehow (would have been impossible the way they wanted it positioned so the Topeka decorator and her mom, took it down and turned the balloons into columns and arches, etc. Anyway, the hotel was impressed with us, and they recommended us to Kris Kobach who was wanting a balloon drop for his campaign. Unfortunately, they wouldn't give me the number of the person requesting it because I wanted to mess with them, and the teen and her mom are Mexican-American and think (correctly) that he's racist.
