Put a bow on Kansas City
This quick video was taken at a fun display in the Hallmark Visitors Center in Kansas City, Missouri. It’s a free facility run by the Hallmark greeting card/gift company, a Kansas City institution.
My Iowa guest blogger friend Jessica was with me, and she said she always loved looking at this machine when she was a kid (never mind how many times we pushed that button to make bows before I said, “Oh yeah, I can shoot a little video of this!”)

Hi, “Hawaii Sheila!”
Yes, it’s rather mesmerizing to see; I didn’t want to waste ribbon but it was hard to quit punching that button. 
I’ve been working at Hallmark headquarters for almost 30 years, and his machine has been a “wonderment” for tens of thousands of people…employees and the public alike. It IS an amazing machine isn’t it. I could watch it for hours and never get bored with it, kindof like watching a campfire.
Hi Doug,
Thanks very much for noticing the video and coming over from Hallmark to visit.
I had to kinda “shout” to get my own audio explanation over the voice of the tourguide, and over the noise of the machine. One of these days maybe I can lay a track of upbeat “bow-making” music over the clip so it’s a little more soothing.

That’s a pretty slick machine. I wish I had one at home to make custom bows.
