It's not about one person here, it's just part of the whole to be part of some major historical city celebration. I'm part of that history. This is my first time at Balloon Fest, having done the parade for 23 years. To look up and no matter where you look in the city, there's somebody that you can make eye contact with, smile and Wave 2 and it's reciprocated and it's a lot of fun. It's just another family event for us. We we consider ourselves part of a balloon family. What better place to do it than the best Thursday of the year? The greatest show on Earth. I think this year's a particularly really fun because they have these amazing decorations. Even seeing them be being inflated and deflated as well, it's kind of like this amazing feat. And now it's just an honor and a privilege that Macy's allows us to be part of this tradition, and it's the best tradition in New York. It was magical for me as a child, and now we get to be part of creating the magic for other children and families on the street who watch the parade too. If you're coming to anything involved with the parade, make sure your camera is charged for the photos. Make sure you've got lots of. Your son and you're ready for the weather and a lightness of spirit. It's the holiday season kicking off and we're so excited to be a part of those traditions.
