Eric
Johnson
If you've ever thought or said...
"Do you know what you could do with that?"...
you can begin to understand how Great Event Decorations have grown and how Eric's skills became a natural compliment to a business specializing in selective and unique décor.
Combine
latex with wood, plastic or fabric and enliven these with
color, motion and design and the possibilities for presenting
themes and creating atmospheres increases dramatically.
Because of Eric's extraordinary combination of artistic
design and construction knowledge he has created parade
floats that have won numerous awards for the Barnum Festival
Ringmaster, Housatonic College, the Barnum Festival King
and Queen as well as Tom Thumb and Lavinia Warren.
The incredible parade floats, backdrops and staging décor that Eric has built stems from his years of carpentry and decorating experience. The satisfaction of creative solutions and of customer delight continues to motivate Eric's contributions to Great Event Decorations.
