Chicago Cultural Center celebrates famous Chicago sculpture, Calder, by recreating “Flamingo” for a parade float. Taking the original steel sculpture down in an attempt to preserve it created some backlash, and this replica inflatable was a great way to show their commitment to the artistic history of Chicago.
“We wanted to convey our 'money-saving' message; what better way than a 14-foot-tall inflatable booth with money flying around in it?”
- B. Hoffman, Hydra-Flex
"Our tunnel was also a great addition to our pre-game tradition: the Wildcat walk. Our city shuts down three blocks of downtown, and we have hundreds of fans lining the streets with a police escort, while we walk to the stadium."
