Bogart, Georgia (September 3, 2024) 

For almost fifteen years, Maxine H. Burton, Founder and President of burton + BURTON®, has been at the forefront of aligning “Balloon Month” in Georgia with International Balloon Month. Thanks to her efforts, Georgia Governor Brian Kemp issued a proclamation declaring September as Balloon Month throughout the state. This recognition, achieved with the support of Bob Burton, COO of burton + BURTON®, highlights the joy balloons bring and the significant economic impact of the balloon industry in Georgia and worldwide. 

September is a time to celebrate the joy balloons bring and their ability to brighten someone’s day! It also serves as a reminder to handle balloons responsibly by following these key steps: (1) always secure balloons with weights; (2) never release balloons into the environment; and (3) pop and dispose of balloons properly when done.
