Hi everyone- I am sponsoring TJAM on the Road in Philadelphia this year.  TJAM on the road is a yearly event organized by TMyers.com and is a tour by famous balloon artists.  This year Shonna Flanigan Query and her son, Dustin Query will be teaching their amazing designs, both décor and balloon animals/figures on AUGUST 19th (friday) from 10am to 9:30pm.  Yahoo!!!  
Details:  
price/times: you can register for all day ($100), morning only (10-2pm for $60) or afternoon only (3-5 and 6-8 for $40).  Any of these options includes entry to the jam after the last class (which runs until 9:30) and a small dinner is included if you choose all day or pm only.  Balloons are included if you plan to twist along.
where?  15 mins outside Philly at the Quality Inn in Gloucester City, NJ.
who are Shonna & Dustin?  Both Shonna and Dustin (her son) are award winning balloon artists who have traveled the world teaching and competing.  Each has several DVD's and Shonna has taught at numerous conventions.  Their décor and balloon animals/figures are way beyond what you might imagine.  Shonna owns Adventure in Fun in Gettysburg, PA and is very successful.  Her business sense/advice is incredible.  Check out their facebook page for pics.
what will we learn?  Morning session taught by Shonna: learn simple balloon arches and columns as well as a huge link-a-loon bear and heart if time allows.  Afternoon session (there are 2): Dustin will teach a transformer and weapons (boy stuff) and Shonna will teach simple fun designs using Big Bear Head shape balloons and link-a-loons.
why go?  Twisters who want to learn décor to increase revenue and client list; twisters who want to advance their knowledge and learn how to use Betallic specialty shapes for some amazing, simple & quick designs or those that want to learn some really cool boy designs; Face painters or Clowns that want to add balloons to their repertoire and be booked more than twice as much, because not many artists can do both of these well; and...........To have FUN!!! and meet other like minded, fun, friendly, crazy individuals that love what you love!
