I remember how back in the 90s when I was growing up, they always had this balloon tent at our town’s 4th of July celebration. I remember there were various shaped Mylars, 16 inch sprays (or white stars) the Suzuki Peacock, agates, and the big 3 fters. All tied in one big bunch on top of the tent. I also remember seeing helium filled punching balloons for a few years. God I miss it SOOOOO MUCH
Do any of you remember seeing those at your town’s events? If I had the extra money, I’d rent a helium tank and sell balloons at our parade. Last year, this local politician handed out these clearly 9 inch Amscan. and there were bunches tied onto a float, and they handed them out to kids after but several of them flew away. So that was fun at least. But it was more fun with the big fancy ones. My mom never bought me one of those. Only if they were free. I think one year was an exception, and they were just red white and blue 12 inch Unique that somebody was selling at a tent for a dollar. Another year they were selling 11 inch Qualatex, which also included the smileys! But I guess my mom didn’t want to spend money on a fancy balloon only for it to pop in the sun, or accidentally fly away.
