THE ENERGIZER BUNNY® HOT HARE BALLOON..
THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIVING
THE ENERGIZER BUNNY® HOT HARE BALLOON..
THE LIGHTER SIDE OF LIVING
The Energizer Bunny® first went airborne in September, 1994, leading a hare-and-hounds race at the 21st annual Great Forest Park Balloon Race in St. Louis. She has been breezing across the country ever since. She has floated over cities from Upstate New York, to the southern tip of California.
( She sure gets around... doesn't she?)
That’s One Big Bunny!
The Energizer Bunny® Hot Hare Balloon is the world’s biggest hot air balloon.
At 166 feet tall, (the height of a six-story building and 15-feet taller than the Statue of Liberty) The Energizer Bunny® Hot Hare Balloon’s feet are a gigantic size 98, which always makes for interesting landings.
(I gripe cause they don't make grownup people shoes for a size 5 foot... now this size 98 could prove to be a might embarrassing.. whoa!)
JUST HOW BIG .." IS".. BIG?
