Party Like its 1989!
This year, the Hot “Hare” Balloon is taking the Energizer Bunny® on his 20th Birthday tour around the country! The giant HAREcraft will travel to 20 different cities in 2009—one ® year the Energizer Bunny has encouraged people to never give up.
The Hot “Hare” Balloon is the tallest hot air balloon in the world—15 feet taller than the Statue of Liberty. Come out and see the towering birthday boy at an event near you.
That’s One Big Bunny!
At 166 feet tall, (the height of a sixteen-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.
