Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Balloon Inflation Event (11/23/2005)
Today I dropped by the Balloon Inflation party around the American Museum of Natural History. They inflate the parade balloons the day before the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
Here are 5 nifty pictures out of the 37 that I took:

Hurray for Macy’s! (While I was there, I saw a metal crate labelled Bambergers. Wow! Remember Bambergers?)

Garfield’s here, but elsewhere there is a picture of his not-yet-inflated balloon.

I don’t know about you, but Pikachu looks kind of creepy here. (BTW, that girl is probably freezing to death… it was really cold).

Hey Ron, what’s going on?

Uh… Healthy? What, is Mr. Potato Head low carb now?
You can see all the pictures here.
Boy it was cold and windy – I took most of these pictures with gloves on. An added challenge. Definitely fun though – with lots and lots of free balloons.
