On Saturday, November 14, volunteers gathered at the Museum of Science and Industry to get some hands-on experience with handling one of the balloons that will be a part of this year's McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade. Participants in "Parade School" practiced manuevering Bob The Builder in preparation for the parade on Thanksgiving Day, November 26, which travels along State Street from Congress Avenue to Randolph Street.
The clear skies and mild temperatures made for perfect conditions....we're hoping the actual conditions of the parade are quite so nice.
Bob is up and ready for action!
Bob goes for a stroll around the front lawn of the Museum of Science and Industry.
Bob takes a break: the balloon handlers get to practice laying Bob on his back.
Back to the ready position. Handling the balloon isn't as easy as it may look, but the volunteers are ready!
Beth gets to hang with none other than Ronald McDonald himself, the Honorary Grand Marshall of the McDonald's Thanksgiving Parade.
