Think Spring

Winter months can drag by when you’re cooped up inside with nothing but your thoughts and your cell phone. The good news is, it’s time to starting turning your thoughts toward spring— March 20, the first official day of spring, is quickly approaching! See these three tips to get yourself out of the winter doldrums and ready to “Think spring!”

1) Clean out the clutter: It’s called “spring-cleaning” for a reason! Once the weather starts warming, start shedding the clutter that’s accumulated. Get rid of anything you don’t use and get bulky winter things packed away.

2) Step up your activity: Stop going stir crazy— get back outdoors with brisk walks around the neighborhood or playing sports in the backyard. Getting some fresh air after a season indoors will put spring back in your step!

3) Prep your backyard: As the days get longer, make the backyard your second living room. Freshen up your yard space by clearing out dead leaves, planting spring flowers, and adding some outdoor décor.

…And make your backyard even more inviting with some help from NEO Amusements! Think spring by planning an outdoor event— our array of backyard inflatables and games is the perfect way to welcome spring!

An Inflatables History Lesson

Bounce house, moon bounce, bouncy castle…whatever name you call them by, inflatable structures have offered endless hours of fun for kids and families over the years. But inflatables didn’t start out as fun family entertainment. In fact, they had a fairly unexciting origin: inflatables were originally designed to be tennis court covers!?

In 1959, a mechanical engineer named John Scurlock was in Shreveport, Louisiana trying to design inflatable covers for tennis courts. While working on his experiment, Scurlock was surprised and humored to find his employees bouncing across the covers. Inspiration struck, and Scurlock transitioned his court covers into a new endeavor: an inflatable “Space Walk” rental company. The very first bounce house was an open top mattress (with no walls or sides!) named the “Space Pillow.” Scurlock’s company took off in 1968, marketing to children’s birthday parties, school fairs, and picnics goers.

Since its inception, the bounce house has undergone a number of re-designs, including the addition of sides for safety and netted walls to circulate airflow. It has also taken on different forms, with inflatable water slides, obstacle courses, and game arenas joining the traditional bounce house family.

Whichever form or name you choose, inflatables are a classic, beloved amusement for all kinds of events!
