Celebrating 100 Years! A Parade for the Sooner Century. Celebrating The State of Oklahoma’s unique history and extraordinary future.
One of the largest parades in Oklahoma State history and one of the largest spectator events ever held, the Parade featured helium balloons, floats, marching bands, equestrian units, singers, dancers and many, many celebrity guests. The Oklahoma Centennial Parade, October 14, 2007.
Never before have there been 60 foot long floats and 45 foot tall parade balloons in Oklahoma City. The City officials worked to clear the way, moving stop lights and wires along the two mile parade route. Big Events, Inc. is proud to have been part of this spectacular parade. It was windy as only Oklahoma can be, but we were up to the challenge and had lots of enthusiastic volunteers that worked really hard to help us handle the balloons down the parade route. Big Events assembled a crew of our top balloon supervisors to manage the balloons. Some from as far away as the States of Oregon and Maryland.
OKLAHOMA CENTENNIAL LOGO STARS-an impressive display of Centennial logo balloons 18 feet tall.
25’ BUCKLEY BUFFALO INFLATABLE-one of the endearing CenTOONial characters.
45’ WILL ROGERS BALLOON-a custom made balloon in the likeness of one of Oklahoma’s favorite sons. The balloon captures Will Rogers as he looked in his vaudeville days. Complete with chaps and trick rope that was his trademark.
