The dates have been Set..............
Mark your calendar to plan to attend the 2010 C.O.Q.B.N. Balloon Extravaganza.
This year the theme will be Air-Tastic Designs......with the ever rising cost of helium, the logical alternative is air. Many items that are being built with helium can also be built with the ever present air. Learn how to build air centerpeices, arches, and lots of other decor with little to no additional investment from your business.
The Central Oklahoma QBN Chapter was organized in January 2001 to help promote the education of its members as well as educate the general public, whose concept of balloons was 3 balloons on 3 ribbon.
In 2002, 10 members studied together and took ther CBA tests and all became Certified Balloon Artists.
Now, in 2010, our members have worked together and attended outstanding seninars around the USA, and we have given 25 scholarships to our members since the inception of the COQBN. Our primary goal to educate our members is realized with each seminar we have and with each scholarship we hand out. Our members are some of the most educated in the industry, and our goal is still to educate and promote our industry.
