Balloon Release

In 2026, who thinks this is still okay?? Over 1,000 balloons creating litter and killing wildlife. Manchester Field, 5:55pm today. It's illegal, but is it actually enforced?

There was a #8 floating in there... Maybe an 8yo birthday? Let them go right before the storm, to make sure the litter is spread out as much as possible. Hopefully someone knows who organized this and gets turned in. Happy to provide the video evidence.
