What's Up Wednesday SPECIAL EDITION # 1 May 16, 2025

Ken Tuley ·

We know it's not Wednesday, but this just in, literally, a brand new T-Shirt in time for Memorial Day.

This is the first in what we hope will be a line of limited edition merchandise releases. Themed and created for special occasions, these items will be produced in a limited quantity, and will not be re-stocked. So when they are gone, they are gone. 

This first item is a black short sleeve T-shirt. The front chest has our Balloon Fiesta logo in Memorial Day colors. The back features a stylized US flag, with balloons and ribbons representing the red and white stripes. Each stripe honors a special group of people, including Nurses, EMS, Dispatch, Corrections, Law Enforcement, Firefighters and Military personnel. If you or someone in your family is a member of one of those groups, Thank You and them for your service. 

In order to receive your shirts in time for Memorial Day weekend, you should place your order before 8 am on Monday. That's when we'll start packing and shipping orders. We will use the fastest shipping method available. That's usually 2-3 days. We'll continue to pack and ship as fast as we get the orders, but if you wait until later in the day, it could be the next day before it actually ships. 

Of course, if you're in the Albuquerque area, mark your purchase for FREE In-Store pickup. And while you're there, you can browse the Gift Shop for other unique items. Either way, it's time to stop reading and go shopping. 

We'll see you again on Wednesday for our regularly scheduled What's Up Wednesday.
