For those looking for entertainment or theme ideas for an upcoming party, a new business in North Bend may be just the thing. Owners Rhonda Oord and Jill Snead have opened Party Hoppers, which rents inflatable hoppers for party entertainment. The hoppers are 13-by-13 feet and are available in several themes, such as Scooby Doo, Powerpuff Girls, Happy Birthday and Toy Story II. Rental rates run from $109 for two hours, to $189 for a full eight hours.

Party Hoppers also has future plans for Card-in-the-Yard rentals for any occasion. The cards draw attention to special events, like over-the-hill birthdays, anniversaries, birth announcements and other events.
