The Friends of North Richmond Outreach Ministries ended their mission week with a big celebration. Thank you so much for partnering with us and helping make this a huge success! The children enjoyed the games and prizes so much! The entire festival was a great experience for the North Richmond community!

Helium filled balloons are a great way to decorate for a party, special event or carnival! It is generally cheaper to rent a helium tank than order pre-inflated balloons. At Balloon ‘n Novelty, we have a variety of sizes for helium tank rentals that will fit any size party or carnival. From Extra Small to Extra Large and everything in between, our tanks are easy to use and can be safely transported in any vehicle. The Extra Large and Jumbo tanks are large and heavy, therefore, you will need a van, large SUV, or truck to pick up these sizes. Call us and we will be happy to help you choose the size helium tank that best suits your needs.
All helium tank rentals are for a 48 hour rental period. We require a security deposit using a credit card or cash. Capacity numbers of the tanks are based on inflating balloons to a standard 11” size. Factors such as under or over inflating or allowing helium to escape from valve will affect these numbers. Filling larger balloons such as foil mylars, will also decrease the capacity numbers. Use the chart below to help determine the size of helium tank you may rent. These are approximate estimates only. Please call your local Balloon ‘n Novelty for pricing and availability.
| Size: | Capacity: | . | Size: | Capacity: |
| Ex. Small | 25 - 11” balloons: $14.95 | Large | 200 - 11" balloons: $69.95 | |
| Small | 50 - 11" balloons: $27.95 | Extra Large | 350 - 11" balloons: $99.95 | |
| Medium | 110 - 11" balloons: $49.95 | Jumbo | 500 - 11" balloons: $109.95 |
HELIUM SAFETY INFORMATION
Helium is a non-flammable, non-toxic gas. There is no ecological damage resulting from the use of helium. It can be used safely either inside or outside. Please read and familiarize yourself with safety precautions before attempting to operate any compressed gas cylinder.
Never deliberately inhale helium. It is a asphyxiate and can cause suffocation, serious injury or even death! Rapid suffocation can happen by reducing the concentration of oxygen in the air necessary to support life.
- DO NOT Inhale helium. Inhaling gas is highly dangerous.
- DO NOT allow children or untrained or unauthorized people to operate or handle helium tanks.
- DO NOT leave helium tank unattended.
- DO NOT attempt to turn valve on without a regulator attached.
- DO NOT store the tank in a very hot area of 125 degrees or higher. Cylinders should be stored in well ventilated areas away from direct heat.
- DO NOT travel without the cap on the large cylinders.
- When transporting tanks by car, make sure the vehicle is well ventilated and the cylinder is secured to avoid rolling around.
- Remember to close the cylinder valves after use.
- When inflating helium balloons, always point the balloon and inflator nozzle away from you.
- If possible, use eye protection.
- Use a dolly for moving large cylinders - they can be very heavy.
- Secure the helium tank in an upright position and secure to avoid tank falling over and hurting someone.
- Never use any equipment that appears to be damaged.
