壮观游行
地方性遗产
您曾看过游行行列中，有卡通角色造型的飘浮汽球吗？像是Gumby或狄克崔西。您知道为什么这些大型气球能在空中飘浮吗？因为他们都被灌满了氦气，而氦气比空气轻，所以气球就能浮在空气中了。
一年一度的壮观游行举办期间，康乃狄克州的斯坦福市中心，飘浮着许许多多的巨型卡通造型气球，如：Gumby、狄克崔西及鹿兄鼠弟等。除此之外，这个节庆还有军乐团、舞者及更多更多的活动项目。这个游行与镇上的其他假日活动同时开跑，从点亮圣诞树，到莱瑟姆公园内的北极冒险乐园。
斯坦福的年度假日气球游行始于六年前，那时还只是一个小型的家乡活动，现在，它已经成为国内最大的氦气球游行之一；城市上空飘浮着30个巨型氦气球，各地区的人都前来观看这些氦气球。1999年时，一旁观看的群众约达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.
