Annie Caldwell Author

Balloon Storyteller Annie Banannie has a background in musical theater, has worked with balloons for 20 years, and has been a full-time family entertainer for 17 years. In 2006, Annie moved to California and had to build a new business from scratch. Now she performs at schools, libraries, preschools, and private functions all over the USA. She and her husband Buster Balloon are featured in “Ripley’s Believe it or Not,” (August 2008) for her balloon wedding dress (he made it, she wore it). She is also seriously amused by referring to herself here in the third person.
