Look to the skies September 21-24 to see Smokey Bear larger than life
This weekend at the Montague Airport, spectators will see Smokey Bear fly through the sky with spectacular Mount Shasta as a backdrop. Smokey Bear is recognized by 96% of adults nationwide. He is one of the most recognizable icons of American culture alongside Santa Claus and Mickey Mouse. From September 21 through the 24th, folks at the Montague Hot Air Balloon Fair can look skyward and see his familiar face with trademark hat float by.
The Balloon is run by the Friends of the Smokey Bear Balloon, a volunteer organization based out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and travels around the country spreading the message of wildfire prevention.
