Orange, Lime, Yellow Balloon Arch

Here is a banded colors balloon arch for a charity event.  These hold up well to light rain or mist due to the collective lift of all the balloons.  A single 11 inch balloon filled with helium has a lift of just over 0.3 ounces.  Not much.  But 240 of them is 80 ounces (5 pounds).  I know what you’re thinking.. but what about the movie “UP”?   Well, let’s just say that it wasn’t a documentary or that those were magical balloons.  Even if he had enough balloons to lift his house, probably 12-18 hours later he would have landed as helium left those balloons.  Definitely magic involved.
