The Patch Arts and Crafts Center has a large selection of latex and foil balloons for all occasions (birthday, graduation, new baby, Mother's Day, Father's Day).  We can also blow up balloons purchased elsewhere.  For speed and convenience, we recommend pre-ordering/droping your balloons off in advance. 

Want your balloons to last longer, consider adding HI-Float.  Hi Float is a balloon treatment that forms a coating inside latex balloons that greatly reduces helium loss.  A single application to can keep a balloon aloft up to 25 times longer!
