Wow. Our balloon made the front page of the Washington Times! Thanks Nick Danger for letting me know.

Right under Rummy too... So cool.

Does anyone know if there is a way to get this photo so I can print it out? Thanks.

since it is your ballon - I bet an email to the Wash Times would garner you a copy of the print rather easily.

2 other photos made the AP wire. I like the Washington Times one best though.

Here's a link to that. I think we are allowed to post "links only" to USA Today on FR.

Day in Pictures: 6/14/05

That's a moot point, anyway, since the gallery was done in Flash.

My Washington Times is missing this morning, possibly stolen by a frenzied balloon fan.

Hey, all we can do is try...

Got here this morning and had several emails talking about the balloon on various newspapers. Kind of cool...

Oh yea, those frenzied balloon fans are everywhere!

Just found out the caption:

A New Jersey crew inflated an American flag hot-air balloon for a July festival yesterday, which happened to be Flag Day.
