Hot Hare Balloon Debut
The Energizer Bunny® first went “hareborne” in September, 1994, leading a hare-and-hounds race at the 21st annual Great Forest Park Balloon Race in St. Louis, and has been breezing across the country ever since. Energizer Bunny® The Hot Hare Balloon has floated over cities from Upstate New York to the southern tip of California delighting fans with its high flying antics.
That’s One Big Bunny!
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 is the world’s biggest hot air balloon. Did we say big? The Energizer Bunny® Hot Hare Balloon’s feet are a gigantic 98 EEEE size, which always makes for interesting landings.
