Try for a balloon handler job in the Macy's Parade.

Please tell me more about being a balloon handler. Sounds intriguing.

 

[Motherfletcher]

I've heard that if you are at the right place (near Aftermath, theTwister store) at the right time 30-45 minutes before the parade you could be asked to hold a rope on a ballon. They give you a jump suit to wear and its only adults.

Being a balloon handler is FUN. You get to be IN the parade.

IIRC, the minimum requirements are 18+ and 125+lbs

No, I'm not joking about the weight part. Those balloons are HUGE and require several people to keep them safe.

We were there last Dec. and were there one morning looking at the balloons. MY husband went in the little trailer parked there and filled out a form. They gave him a time to come back and get ready. He LOVED it! The parade itself is fun to watch.

Woo Hoo Will definitely hook up with you and Bev I missed Bev on my last trip (we never did make it to the "dark side"). It was so hot that day, we decided to hang out at the pool bar instead, sigh.

Do you think if I found Bev and told her I "lost" my tickets, she would find them in the lost and found muahahahaha...
