I spent my past Saturday volunteering as a balloon handler at the National Cherry Blossom Parade in Washington DC!
First, we started off by Ubering to the National Mall because all the metros were closed at 6 am. We passed by some of the balloons before they were inflated!
Then, we made our way to the volunteer check-in booth and received our pink volunteer shirt, a free Dunkin donut, and coffee.
It was finally our turn to start handling the float. We lucked out and got to hold the pink Care Bear balloon!
We walked a mile down Constitution Avenue in front of thousands of people! We even spun the balloon a few times.
After we concluded, we went to deflate the balloon and I even met Lisa Ann Walter from Abottt Elementary. She’s a Maryland native!
Overall, the experience was looooonngg but it was very fun to see all of the reactions from the little kids!
To volunteer in the parade, you must be 18+. Sign up on their website for other Cherry Blossom-related activities https://nationalcherryblossomfestival.org/volunteers/
Hey there just wanted to give you a quick heads up.

I’m not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with
web browser compatibility but I thought I’d post to let you know.
The design look great though! Hope you get the issue solved soon. Thanks
It’s perfect time to make a few plans for the longer term and it is time
