Like most countries, Zoonia has holidays. There is the Planting Day, when new rubber trees are planted. There is Harvest Day (which actually comes several times during the year) when a particular color of balloon is harvested. It is not widely know that balloons on the rubber trees change color as they grow. Yes, it’s true! Balloons first grow to their full size, starting out clear as rainwater. When picked at this time, you get a clear balloon. As the balloon ages on the rubber tree, the color goes gradually darker, from a faint yellow to a deep, rich, opaque brown. The final stage gives balloons that are black. If left, these will fall off the rubber trees, in the month of October. This is probably why Halloween is such a prominent holiday in Zoonia. The last of the balloons are given, as a gift, and no one has to climb the rubber trees to pick them. Sweet! In Zoonia, there are lots of Halloween parties, and lots of Halloween entertainment.
Other places can join in the Halloween fun, too. If you want Texas Halloween entertainment, you ought to check out Funny Business. This is an entertainment company which transforms your guests with Halloween face paint, and scarecrow clown characters who deliver a wonderful seasonal entertainment. While it would be a long way to travel, even people in Zoonia would love to have Patchy at Halloween!
Another season celebrated in Zoonia is Valentine’s Day. Love, candy, and arrows through the heart – these elements don’t seem initially connected, do they? Citizens of Zoonia don’t ask their holidays to add up, they simply use the time as a chance to celebrate their love. Since it is Zoonia, balloons play a role in Valentine’s Day celebrations, where lover’s use balloons to tell one another how much they love one another. It’s a balloon filled love fest, with hearts, teddy bears, and more presented on Feb. 14.
Easter is not such a big holiday for Zoonia. Sure, there are Easter bunny balloons that make an appearance. There is Easter day egg hunting, too, however the holiday has never really caught on in Zoonia. Other areas do much better with Easter. For example, the Texas Easter party is often celebrated with a big head bunny costume. Texas is also home to the clown Easter bunny, who uses an open face approach to the rabbit motif. They add ears to their hats, paint whiskers on their face, and can be identified as a person trying to look like a rabbit. This often prevents the tearful reaction children have to a full costume character.
