At the United Center, a spectacular display of 100,000 red, white, and blue balloons cascaded from the ceiling in honor of Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination. This grand celebration was the result of meticulous planning and coordination by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers.
The inflation of these balloons was a crucial aspect of the Democratic National Convention. The intricate process of preparing and releasing the balloons involved 75 volunteers, 30 staff members, and a group of Local 2 Stagehands. A specialized system, developed in 1988, was utilized to ensure the smooth execution of this task.
