Once constructed, the rosary will be quite large. It will not be possible to transport it in a vehicle (unless you have access to a private bus). Therefore it is important to construct the rosary at a location reasonably close to your objective location. Show Helium balloons always want to escape, it is advisable to construct the rosary inside in order to reduce the risk of losing your balloons. Parish halls or gymnasiums are ideal due to their size. Allow for plenty of time to make it. If you are creating the rosary for a scheduled event, you’ll want to give yourself 3 to 4 hours, at least, before the event. Conversely, helium balloons are at their best when they are fresh, so it is not advantageous to make the rosary the day before an event. At least 2 people will be needed to do this, but that will take much longer. A crew of 6 or more people is ideal to get a good assembly system going. Also, you’ll need 6 or more people to transport the rosary when it is done. It can be a challenge to keep from getting tangled or caught on objects while in transit. If you plan to release the rosary, you should check on your local mass balloon release laws, as you could be fined. There are some cities and states that have outlawed mass balloon releases. Needless to say, we should respect the environment. Thus it is worth considering how one can keep the rosary as biodegradable as possible. A release should be done in a wide-open space. Fields or city squares are good, but you’ll need to consider the wind, any nearby trees etc., as the rosary doesn’t necessarily go straight up right away, but rather over and up. DO NOT RELEASE NEAR POWER LINES. What should be a wonderful experience, could quickly turn into something you might regret.
