壯觀遊行
地方性遺產
您曾看過遊行行列中，有卡通角色造型的飄浮汽球嗎？像是Gumby或狄克崔西。您知道為什麼這些大型氣球能在空中飄浮嗎？因為他們都被灌滿了氦氣，而氦氣比空氣輕，所以氣球就能浮在空氣中了。
一年一度的壯觀遊行舉辦期間，康乃狄克州的斯坦福市中心，飄浮著許許多多的巨型卡通造型氣球，如：Gumby、狄克崔西及鹿兄鼠弟等。除此之外，這個節慶還有軍樂團、舞者及更多更多的活動項目。這個遊行與鎮上的其他假日活動同時開跑，從點亮聖誕樹，到萊瑟姆公園內的北極冒險樂園。
斯坦福的年度假日氣球遊行始於六年前，那時還只是一個小型的家鄉活動，現在，它已經成為國內最大的氦氣球遊行之一；城市上空飄浮著30個巨型氦氣球，各地區的人都前來觀看這些氦氣球。1999年時，一旁觀看的群眾約達250,000名。
Have you ever seen a parade with floating balloons in the shape of characters like Gumby or Dick Tracy? Do you know why such big balloons float in the air? It's because they are filled with helium, and helium gas is lighter than air so it floats.
Gumby, Dick Tracy, Rocky and Bullwinkle, and many other giant balloon characters float through downtown Stamford, Connecticut, in the annual Parade Spectacular. The festivities include marching bands, dancers, and more. The parade falls at the same time as other holiday events in town, from the lighting of the Christmas tree to a North Pole adventure land in Latham Park.
Stamford's annual holiday balloon parade started six years ago as a small, hometown affair and has become one of the largest helium balloon parades in the country, with 30 giant helium balloons floating above the city and people coming from all over the region to see them. In 1999, there were an estimated 250,000 spectators.
