Gundy, I have another possible source of information for you. In the April issue on p. 34, we ran a photo with some balloons in it. The owner of those balloons, Donna Lucas, said we could forward a message to her. If you'd like to email me at rschweitzer@kalmbach.com with your question and contact information, I will be happy to pass it on to her.

Hi Gundy, I forwarded this message to two people who might be able to help. Jack Verducci responded already: We do have a fake hot air balloon. It was suspended from a wire that we ran from the roof eaves to our gazebo. We bought the balloon from San Val. You could probably make one out of a beach ball, a hair net and a small basket the gondola. A more realist is one could be make using a punching bag which has the right “pear” shape of a hot air balloon.
