Bobo the Hobo was a vintage giant helium character balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
History with the Macy's Parade[]
In 1945, when the Parade returned from it's hiatus after World War II, Bobo the Hobo was one of the five new balloons to join the line of march. The design is simple, as it depicts a simple clown design. He only appeared in 1945 and was later recycled into the Baseball Player in 1946, and again as the Policeman, and the Fireman in 1947 and 1948 respectively. A recreation of the Bobo balloon has yet to be made and announced for the parade.
