I remember last year I was so excited that the balloons were gonna fly I felt like a child on Christmas morning. I love watching the parade every year and have been doing this even when I was little. So glad they were able to do it this year too.
No they went off that year only to cause a tragedy when the Cat in the Hat hit a lightpost head causing it to snap and crash into 4 people, one in a coma for a month. Not sure if after that immediately they had them down to ground (as in 1971 with wind gusts at 60 mph on Nov. 25, 1971 - 50 years ago today exactly which is Tgiving Day 2021, post pandemic!) but the fact they did have them UP that year is why 1997 isnt on list. DId they take them down in 2017? I cannot recall. Its in the mid 40s up there today and 100% sunny 2021. Happy Thanksgiving 2021!
