Today marks the 100th birthday of the one and only Goodyear Blimp! That’s right, your favorite airship has officially hit triple digits, and it’s celebrating by hanging out in the Wingfoot Lake Airship hangar.
The Mascot Madness Lineup Includes:
Duo the Owl: Still judging your Duolingo streak mid-dance.
Dr. Squatch: Whispering, “Don’t eat the soap,” to everyone near the dessert table.
Scrub Daddy: Possibly crushing on the Blimp? (We’re not judging.)
Wendy: Serving sass and Frosty samples with equal force.
Kool-Aid Man: Has burst through five walls today—none of which were doors.
OREO: Fully convinced the Blimp is a long-lost cousin.
OLIPOP: Bringing bubbles—and digestive health—to the party.
The Teletubbies: Eh oh!
Blippi: Screaming “B-L-I-M-P-P-I!” until security had to intervene.
JJ from CoComelon: Still singing “The Wheels on the Blimp…” and we’re concerned.
But wait, it gets wilder. Ohio’s local mascots joined the fun, repping the University of Akron, Kent State, the Akron RubberDucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Guardians.
Event Highlights Worth Floating For:
Ohio’s Largest Balloon Installation: You literally can’t miss it.
Mascot Mini Cakes: Courtesy of Betty Crocker—yes, she baked for the Blimp.
Blimp Cake: It’s gravity-defying and blimp-shaped and may or may not have jet engines made of frosting.
DJ + Dance Floor: F
OREO Brownie Frosty Fusion™: Provided by Wendy’s, because Ohio brands gotta stick together.
Blimp-Themed Mocktails: One’s called “Air Pressure Punch.” We don’t ask questions.
Blimp Rides .
Rumored Afterparty: Somewhere in the stratosphere.
