An Aggie Invented the First Bounce House

An Aggie Invented the First Bounce House Bounce houses have played a huge part in parties and events over the years. Almost every birthday party, carnival, fundraiser, or party event you go to there will be a bouncy house of some kind putting big smiles on peoples faces. Over the years, bounce houses have expanded to more than just four walls inflated with air. They can range from princess castles to animal theme, they can include regular slides or water slides, and obstacle courses. There are bounce houses for weddings, Halloween parties, even inflatable water parks you can join. It’s amazing to think that something that brings happiness to thousands of children and adults all started from an accidental invention in the late 1950s. What started out as a tennis court cover prototype turned into so much more. What a Great Idea In 1959 John Scurlock was working on a project to develop a cover for tennis courts. He happened to see a few of his employees jump up and down his proto...

Bouncy House Guinness Record The Guinness World Records is a book published every year listing crazy world records and astounding human achievements. Amazingly the book itself holds the record for the best-selling copyrighted book of all time. Talk about crazy records, recently Big Bounce America was listed in the Guinness World Record for the largest inflatable bouncy castle in 2018 in Lone Tree, CO.

He Said Anything!

He Said Anything! I came across a hilarious story today about a girl who turned down a guy for a date but to impress her, he offered something she couldn’t resist. It all started when young 17-year-old Leagan Wilson, of Lubbock, had an exchange with an old childhood acquaintance from summer camp. He asked her out but she wasn’t interested in being in a relationship at the time. But after she kindly declined his advances, he was still persistent and came up with an interesting way to win her over. The unnamed gentleman decided to send her pictures of his credit card, the front and back. He wrote, “I want you to have something,” “Just in case you ever need anything. Anything at all.” In shock, Leagan replies, “hol up.” This all sounds crazy. I mean who would send sensitive information like that to someone they haven’t seen or spoken to in years. But to reassure her that he was for real, he replayed with, “Anything your heart desires.” Leagan wasn't very happy with the thought o...
