Its been more than two years since Ortonville resident Chris Steer recognized the need in the community for some good party activities. Coupled with a rather sluggish economy, the auto industry worker opted for a additional income, that the whole family could help out with.
So Steer formed C & J Moonwalk Rentals offering day rentals of the inflatable attractions. Moonwalks are air-inflated amusement rides that can be delivered to any site and set up in a few minutes. Powered by any blower motor the vinal-covered inflatable can be set up on lawns and driveways.
‘We pride ourselves on the quality of our equipment and keeping it well maintained,? said Steer. ‘We market all age groups for many different social occasions’including kids parties, family reunions/picnics, graduation/retirement gatherings. We even do weddings.?
The Sponge Boy is still the most popular inflatable says Steer .This year we will be adding an additional slide and moonwalk jousting arena. In 2005 Steer also added a dunk tank, snow cone and cotton candy machine to the equipment available.
‘Our company is different from our competitors because we are a local family owned business. We emphasize the quality of our equipment and keeping it well maintained. After every use we clean and disinfect all our equipment.?
Steer says it’s important that customers book equipment early, especially in the spring for graduation parties.
‘What I like about this community is the hometown atmosphere,? said Steer. Most are very friendly and prefer to work locally. It has been very rewarding for me to meet the citizens of Ortonville, whom have helped my business grow. Thanks to all for helping me get this business going.?
