SPEAKER 1: HEY, GUYS. WE ARE HERE WITH MR. KEVIN WASH. HE IS WITH PARTY CENTRAL, ONE OF OUR MAIN SPONSORS FOR OUR UPCOMING EVENT WITH THE SOLID BLUE TAILGATE PARTY COMING UP ON AUGUST 25TH, SATURDAY. KEVIN, WELCOME TO THE SHOW.
KEVIN: THANK YOU, MA’AM.
SPEAKER 1: NOW, LET’S TALK ABOUT PARTY CENTRAL. THIS IS REALLY COOL. WHAT EXACTLY DOES YOUR COMPANY DO?
KEVIN: WE’LL WE’VE GOT THE INFLATABLES LIKE YOU CAN SEE BEHIND US. WE WILL HELP PLAN AND CREATE THE BEST STRATEGY FOR THE EVENT.
SPEAKER 1: UH-HUH (AFFIRMATIVE).
KEVIN: WE’VE GOT TENTS, TABLES, AND CHAIRS, CONCESSION MACHINES, DUNKING BOOTHS, PRETTY MUCH ANYTHING FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
SPEAKER 1: I MEAN, YOU GUYS DO IT ALL, REALLY. WHEN SOMEBODY’S PLANNING AN EVENT, A BIG EVENT, TOO, YOU GUYS HANDLE THE SMALL EVENTS ALL THE WAY UP TO THESE MASSIVE EVENTS, DON’T YOU?
KEVIN: ABSOLUTELY, YEAH. WE WILL DO BIRTHDAY PARTIES, AS WELL AS THE BIG SEVERAL-THOUSAND-PERSON EVENT LIKE THIS ONE OUT HERE TO DO.
SPEAKER 1: WOW, YEAH, LET’S TALK ABOUT YOUR COMPANY. YOU’VE BEEN AROUND FOR A LONG TIME. THE EXPERIENCE THAT YOU’RE BRINGING TO THE MARKET IS UNTOUCHED BY ANYBODY ELSE HERE, IS THAT CORRECT?
KEVIN: YEAH, WE STARTED IN ’89 AND WE WERE IN COLLEGE AT THAT POINT. WE GREW WITH THE INDUSTRY. THERE WAS NOTHING AROUND AT THAT POINT IN TIME IN CENTRAL KENTUCKY.
SPEAKER 1: RIGHT.
KEVIN: AS THE INDUSTRY GREW AND MORE AND MORE OF THE GAMES WERE DEVELOPED, WE’VE JUST GROWN WITH IT AND ALL THE EXPERIENCE GIVES US THE ABILITY TO HELP PLAN YOUR EVENT AND HELP YOU KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR.
SPEAKER 1: EXACTLY. THE KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU BRING TO THE TABLE, WHEN WE WERE PLANNING THIS EVENT, YOU HAD SO MUCH KNOWLEDGE AND IT WAS SO IMPORTANT FOR US. AS FAR AS WITH THE EVENTS, HOW LONG DO YOU DO THEM FOR? WILL YOU DO AN ALL DAY EVENT OR IS IT A SHORT-TERM THING? HOW DOES THAT WORK?
KEVIN: ANYTHING ALL OVER THE BOARD. WE’VE GOT THINGS THAT MIGHT JUST BE A TWO-HOUR BIRTHDAY PARTY. IT COULD BE A WEEKEND EVENT.
SPEAKER 1: OKAY.
KEVIN: DEPENDING ON WHAT THAT CHURCH, SCHOOL, COMPANY, DEPENDS ON WHAT THEY NEED.
SPEAKER 1: YES, OKAY. WE’VE GOT SO MUCH MORE TO TALK ABOUT. WE HAVE TO GO TO BREAK BUT WE WILL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS. KEEP IT RIGHT HERE. YOU’RE WATCHING GOOD DAY KENTUCKY.

SPEAKER 1: HEY GUYS WELCOME BACK. WE ARE HERE WITH MR KEVIN WASH, OWNER OF PARTY CENTRAL. KEVIN WE’VE GOT THIS BIG, HUGE SLIDE BACK HERE. LET’S TALK ABOUT SOME OF THESE INFLATABLES THAT YOU’VE BROUGHT.
KEVIN: YEAH MOST ALL OF THE SLIDES ANYMORE CAN BE USED WET OR DRY. SO LIKE THIS ONE THERE’S A POOL AT THE BOTTOM THAT ONCE YOU’VE FILL IT UP, YOU HOOK A HOSE AT THE TOP. YOU CAN GO DOWN WET. ANYWAY WE’VE GOT ABOUT 15 SLIDES TO CHOOSE FROM, PROBABLY 10 OR 12 OF THE OBSTACLE COURSES TO CHOOSE FROM.
SPEAKER 1: YOU HAD, WHAT, 70 PIECES IS THAT WHAT YOU TOLD ME?
KEVIN: I THINK IT’S RIGHT AT 70 PIECES OF EQUIPMENT.
SPEAKER 1: WOW, AND YOU HAVE NOT ONLY INFLATABLES BUT YOU HAVE GAMES AND THINGS TOO RIGHT?
KEVIN: RIGHT LIKE THIS ONE OVER HERE THE POP A SHOT BASKETBALL AND THE T-BALL AND SKI-BALL. THERE’S QUITE OTHER THINGS TO TRY TO INVOLVE DIFFERENT AGES AS WELL.
SPEAKER 1: OKAY YEAH, SPEAKING OF AGES WHAT’S THE AGE LIMIT, CAN ADULTS DO SOME OF THESE?
KEVIN: ABSOLUTELY. THE SLIDES ARE GOOD FOR ALL AGES, OBSTACLES ARE GOOD FOR ALL AGES. BOUNCE HOUSES WE TYPICALLY TELL EVERYBODY 10 AND BELOW.
SPEAKER 1: OKAY, ALRIGHT. NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT, YOU KNOW WE PLANNED AHEAD FOR THIS EVENT THAT WE’RE GONNA BE DOING WITH OUR SOLID BLUE TAILGATE PARTY ON AUGUST 25, BUT FOR PEOPLE THAT CONTACTED YOU, CAN YOU ACCOMMODATE LAST MINUTE PEOPLE TOO?
KEVIN: ABSOLUTELY. THE ONLY WE ISSUE WE GET ON LAST MINUTE STUFF IS IT’S A STATE LAW THAT WE CALL 811 TO DO UNDERGROUND UTILITIES INSPECTIONS. SO WHEN WE DO THAT WE HAVE TO BRING IN WEIGHT. SO WE HAVE BARRELS THAT WE FILL UP WITH WATER TO CREATE THE WEIGHT TO MAKE SURE THINGS STILL SECURE PROPERLY.
SPEAKER 1: INSTEAD OF USING THE STAKES IF YOU’RE PAST THAT 48 HOURS. GOTCHA, AND AS FAR AS WITH THE LICENSING TOO FOR THE EQUIPMENT, LET’S TALK ABOUT THAT AS WELL.
KEVIN: YEAH THERE’S A STATE AGENCY THAT INSPECTS EACH PIECE OF EQUIPMENT EACH YEAR. SO YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE LICENSE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE INSURANCE. SO THEY KIND OF MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE PROPERLY. SO, EVERY COMPANY SHOULD HAVE A LICENSE THAT GOES RIGHT ON THE FAN FOR EACH GAME.
SPEAKER 1: OKAY, AWESOME AND WE STILL HAVE MORE TO TALK ABOUT BUT WE HAVE TO GO TO COMMERCIAL BREAK. WE’LL BE BACK THOUGH. KEEP IT RIGHT HERE. YOU’RE WATCHING GOOD DAY KENTUCKY.

SPEAKER 1: WELCOME BACK, GUYS. WE ARE HERE WITH MR. KEVIN WASH WITH PARTY CENTRAL, AND I’LL TELL YOU WHAT, THESE INFLATABLES ARE AWESOME. THE ONE THAT WE’RE IN FRONT OF RIGHT NOW, ADRENALINE RUSH, OH MY GOSH. IT IS BIG.
KEVIN WASH: IT’S A HUGE OBSTACLE COURSE. IT’S ABOUT 80 FEET FROM FRONT TO BACK BY THE TIME YOU GET OUT.
SPEAKER 1: WOW, AND I’M GONNA BE DOING THIS IN A LITTLE BIT, SO I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW EXHAUSTED I’M GONNA BE. HOPEFULLY, THESE KIDS ARE GONNA BE BLOWING ME AWAY CAUSE KIDS ARE STARTING TO ROLL IN AND THEY WANNA PLAY, DON’T THEY?
KEVIN WASH: THAT’S THE GREAT THING ON THE OBSTACLES AND THE SLIDES, BOTH. THEY’RE ALL-AGES. KIDS UP TO ADULTS CAN DO IT.
SPEAKER 1: IT’S AWESOME. AND YOU KNOW WHAT? AS FAR AS WITH THE TYPES OF INFLATABLES THAT YOU HAVE, YOU HAVE SOME THAT ARE SMALLER SIZE, THAT ARE VERY AFFORDABLE FOR MANY DIFFERENT PEOPLE, DON’T YOU?
KEVIN WASH: ABSOLUTELY. YEAH. OUR PRICING FOR BOUNCE HOUSES BEGINS AT $150.
SPEAKER 1: OKAY.
KEVIN WASH: SLIDES AND OBSTACLES BOTH START AT $300. SO, ALL PRICE RANGES, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT CHOICES FOR EACH STYLE OF THE GAME.
SPEAKER 1: A LOT OF TIMES PEOPLE THINK THAT THEY CAN’T AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE THIS FOR THEIR PARTY WHEN ACTUALLY, I MEAN, THOSE PRICES ARE AFFORDABLE. WHEN YOU’RE LOOKING AT THREE HOURS, FOUR HOURS, OF TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE KIDS, IT’S DEFINITELY AFFORDABLE.
KEVIN WASH: YEAH, YEAH, AND WE’LL BRING IT TO THE HOUSE. AND THAT’S WHAT A LOT OF PEOPLE LIKE ABOUT IT TOO. IT’S THE FACT THAT IT’S PRIVATE, IN YOUR YARD, WHAT YOU’RE PAYING FOR JUST YOU AND YOUR GUEST USE IT, SO THEY GET TO USE IT A LOT MORE THAN GOING SOMEWHERE WHERE THERE’S A LOT OF PEOPLE.
SPEAKER 1: RIGHT, RIGHT. AND PEOPLE CAN PICK IT UP TOO, IF THAT’S ANOTHER OPTION THAT THEY WANNA BE ABLE TO DO. IS THAT RIGHT?
KEVIN WASH: ABSOLUTELY. AND WHEN WE DO THAT, WE USUALLY LET THEM COME IN THE EVENING BEFORE, PICK UP, WE GIVE THEM EVERYTHING THEY NEED, THEY JUST TAKE IT HOME, UNROLL IT AND INFLATE IT.
SPEAKER 1: YEAH, WELL, YOU’VE GOT EVERYTHING. I MEAN, NOT ONLY THE INFLATABLES, PEOPLE, BUT YOU HAVE THE TENTS, YOU HAVE THE CHAIRS, YOU HAVE EVERYTHING TO HELP MAKE AN EVENT VERY SPECIAL FOR EVERYONE. KEVIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING WITH US. WE REALLY APPRECIATE IT. CAN’T WAIT FOR AUGUST 25TH, YOU DON’T WANNA MISS IT. IT’S GONNA BE OUR SOLID BLUE TAILGATE PARTY.
THAT’S WHERE YOU’RE GONNA GET THE FREE T-SHIRTS, WE’RE GONNA HAVE FOOD TRUCKS, ALL KINDS OF THINGS. YOU DON’T WANNA MISS IT, AND WE GOTTA GO, BUT WE’LL BE BACK RIGHT AFTER THIS. KEEP IT RIGHT HERE, YOU’RE WATCHING GOOD DAY, KENTUCKY.
