"As of today, 5/4/08, Matt only has 3 more radiation treatments. He will then have about a 4-5 week break, before his chemo program. These last few weeks have been tough for Matt.

Thanks Balloon Guy....Fresh Air in Balloon Biz! |

Posted by: thepinetree on 05/08/2008 09:34 AM

Arnold, CA...We would like to thank Sid Marsh, The Balloon Guy, for joining our family of advertisers. After 14 years of giving Calaveras communities fancy foils and lighthearted latex; Ray Sutliff, the Balloon Man, decided it was time to pop out of the balloon business. As luck would have it, Ray did a job for the Ebbetts Pass National Scenic Byway’s “Scenic Celebration” where he worked with Sid Marsh. Now Sid with a creative background in television, theater, and multimedia saw that Ray’s business and it’s commitment to the community needed to continue. So the Balloon Man passed the helium tank and sold his business to the Balloon Guy. Fortunately for everyone, Ray is still using his years of experience and community involvement to mentor and consult with the new business.
