Jimmie Whitworth Sr

Jimmie has been entertaining children for more than 30 years. As a father and teacher he learned that getting children involved is the key to any successful event.

“All these years interacting, entertaining and working with all kinds of people has been a big part of our life. Balloon entertainment is just an extension of that.”

Jimmie started out with magic tricks and musical shows; as his audience grew, Jimmie soon realized that he had a knack for entertainment, not only with children, but with all types of audiences.

“Entertainment is a passion of mine; it gives me a great sense of accomplishment, to see the smiles I bring. My goal is to turn any event into a magical experience.”

Jimmie began discovering new ways to continually astound his audiences—eventually shaping his talent into a successful business—Adventure Balloons.

“I got my biggest boost when I attended the International Balloon Convention in 2000, in Las Vegas. I entered two competitions and with so much talent there I felt honored that my sculptures were shown in their International Magazine, Images.”

Gideon Whitworth

Gideon has an eye for design and a spark in his personality. His specialties are within the balloon decorating sphere. While being a great balloon artist and entertainer, Gideon is also the owner and operator of the “Windmill Coffee Spot” in Santa Cruz. His new business venture keeps him very busy yet he still enjoys helping out the family business on the weekends.

“What I love about this job is that you are able to connect with people on a whole new level. With me its not just about business it’s also about fun, or, wait, is it… ‘not just about fun, it’s also about business’ ?? Oh well, you get my point ”

Tim Whitworth

Tim has been helping out in the family business since 2002. He got his start in decorating jobs by helping his Dad build balloon arches and columns. He’s got an eye for color and creating a party atmosphere just about anywhere. In entertaining, Tim has been an airbrush tattoo specialist for about 4 years and has been refining his skills with balloon art since 2006.

Tim loves fantasy and medieval themed parties the best.

Daniel Whitworth

Daniel is a professional showman and vocal artist. His work includes advertising and performances for Tokyo Disneyland, Konami Games, Mazda Motors and other companies. One of the highlights of his career was backing up Josh Groban in concert. Daniel is new to balloon entertainment but is a quick study and does everything to a very high skill level. Daniel’s easy going nature and his experience makes him a natural at entertaining crowds and large groups.

“As an entertainer, the greatest reward for me is seeing the smile on a child’s face.”

Chuck Whitworth

Chuck has worked closely with Jim Sr., for the past three years on both balloon art and airbrush tattoos.  During this apprenticeship, Chuck assists with balloon art, but only recently has he earned his way into taking on airbrush art on his own.  When he’s not helping his Dad and older brothers, Chuck is a full time student at Cabrillo College.
