The Doughboy Rises Again!

Excerpt from the General Mills Blog:
A new Pillsbury Doughboy balloon will make its first official flight in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
But thanks to its test launch earlier this month, you’re seeing it first right here.
The Doughboy was one of six new balloons made for the parade to fly at “Balloonfest” on a sunny Saturday, Nov. 8, high above a parking lot at Citi Field.
And I was there to see the Macy’s team unload the balloon, spread it out, inflate it and launch it – all in the course of six hours or so.
