In June 2013, Smarty Pants teamed up with the Mariano’s Fresh Market in the Chicago area for a trio of seasonal “balloon installations.”

On June 30th, to celebrate the summer season, Smarty Pants created an “ice cream” themed balloon installation at the Mariano’s in Jefferson Park.     The total installation took four hours – Smarty Pants began building the balloons at 11 am, and completed the installation at 3 pm.  Customers were amazed at the balloons – many had never seen large scale, creative balloons like the ones Smarty Pants creates!
