Fun Facts About Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade
So funny how things you remember as a kid can bring you joy to the end of your days. When I was little I loved watching Captain Kangaroo every morning and each year on Thanksgiving they’d take you behind the scenes to watch all the Macy’s Parade Balloons begin blown up.The Macy's site says it takes 90 people to hold the works of balloon art down and walk them through the parade which for me is pure magic. I am very excited to see Scrat from 'Ice Age' this year. Needless to say I have seldom ever missed the parade on TV and it remains one of my bucket list items to see it in person someday. This year our generation rockers are represented in the musical performer category by Pat Benatar and her hubby. Check out this video of the process to get the balloons in the air on Thanksgiving
