A little Wagner Artistics History.

We are now in our 34th year of Decorating Highschool and College Grads in Edmonton , St Albert, Leduc, Beaumont, Wetaskiwin , Thorsby etc.. If you graduated and attended your ceremonies or banquet in the past 30 years..There is a high likelihood that we decorated your Grad. For that we say THANK YOU . Here is a little of our story.....

In 1984...My mother had a friend who was not feeling well. She wanted to take her a bouquet of flowers, but could not afford them at the time. She blew up a handful of balloons she had in a drawer, tied them to the end of some thin little dowels from the hardware store that she had purchased months before..taped them all together with some colourful tape ..and proceeded to take them to her friend. They were so well received, that I decided there must be a better way to make a bouquet of balloons. I researched until I found things like..balloon stick, and balloon cups..and colourful balloon ribbon...and we started making much prettier..more colourful balloon bouquets. I offered them for sale ..and added the ‘singing balloonagram” where I would put on a pink and black satin tuxedo , top hat included and deliver a big colourful bouquet of balloons to the person of your choice, singing “happy Birthday” ..or “ Happy Anniversary , or just “Have a Happy Day” . I loved that part of my job for a long time, as I enjoyed the smiles and embarrassment in people when I would break out in song.

One thing led to another. I quit my successful career as a Hairtech/teacher Applied for a business licence , that was granted to me in 1986, and I set out on a new adventure in the “balloon business”, as a self employed young mom. I began decorating birthday parties and small events. That lead to bigger events, New Years and School functions, and then Grads....and THAT is where we shone. I had some very special People at our Edmonton Schools who had faith in me...and I refused to let them down...so... I hired other family members, friends , and eventually my children, Kirk ,Alison and Jed to work with me where we eventually were decorating for 43 High school Grads at our peak years. This was a huge undertaking as it all had to be done in a 7 week period of the ‘Grad Season”, in huge halls like Northlands and the Shaw Conference Centre. We did it..year after year..and for now 34 years..we have been honoured to have been called back again and again for so many high school Grad Banquets..and junior high farewell events.

We have decorated hundreds of Corporate events ..including Worley Parsons. RBC, K Days ,Meloche Monex, Coca Cola, City of Edmonton , City of St. Albert, Waste Management , Spartan Controls, Sobeys, Shoppers , Safeway , Royal Alex foundation, BMO, MacDonalds, Ledcor, Home Depot, Govt. of Alberta, Fantasyland,All Weather Windows, The Edmonton Eskimos....and the list goes on. It is with great Thanks that we have been busy for all these years. I have raised my children who are now 40 (Kirk) , 36 (Alison) and 30 (Jed) as they have worked for Wagner Artistics all these years while they also built their own careers in the meantime. They grew up blowing up balloons, decorating hundreds of weddings, and working Canada Day, K- Days and many many children carnivals. We also created and built the ‘game Centre’ games for Klondike Days Childrens Pavillion. Decorated many Parade floats , Dressed in Clown Outfits and worked the K Days Events for years. I am proud of all the work they have done to make us good at what we do.
