Subject: pre-inflated divider
From: "M.L. D BROADWATER" <broadcreations@juno.com>

The mesh laundry divider works great for pre-inflated balloons.  Be sure
to get one that is high enough(some are short and wide) and that the bags
come out individually.  Today I did storytelling with balloons and
pre-inflated the majority of balloons that I needed.  I tell three
stories so the three bags were perfect for dividing up what I needed.  I
put the balloons in the mesh bag, then covered the bag in a larger
plastic bag to prevent oxidation.  I took the frame to the library
already assembled and then simply took the balloons out of the plastic
and lined them up in the holder.  Instant excitement as the children
anticipated the event.  I sprayed the whole thing with static spray and
had my balloon cart and pump next to it for the other odd balloons that I
needed.  It worked wonderfully.  At the conclusion I was able to
disassemble everything including the frame in a matter of minutes and put
it all into one of the mesh bags which can go over the shoulder.  Other
times doing this I used a rubbermaid type container to hold my
pre-inflated balloons but it did not work as well because of the height
of the balloons.  The mesh bags with  30" high PVC frame was great. 
Thanks for the idea Bruce!(BTW, I got mine at Wal-Mart $10.00 yesterday
just in time for my performance today....hooray!)
