Energizer Bunny® Hot “Hare” Balloon – the Keep Going® Tour
After 16 years flying the skies, Energizer decided it was time to put the Hot “Hare” Balloon fans in the pilot seat and let them pick the cities the Bunny Crew will visit this year. Through a poll on Facebook, fans selected two festivals to attend in addition to the Great Forest Park Balloon Race in St. Louis, Mo.
We’re excited to fire up the burners and bring the Energizer Bunny® and his Keep Going® spirit on tour again this year. There really is no stopping the Energizer Bunny® or his crew!
