ABSTRACT:
A system for displaying a message, which includes a base portion, which is mounted on wheels and securable to a movable vehicle such as an automobile; an inflatable balloon mounted to a supporting circular base member configured to engage the constricted portion of the balloon, the circular base member further having a diameter and a height emanating from the base portion; a blower positioned within the base portion for blowing air through the circular base member and into the lower opening of the balloon and inflating the balloon to a point above the circular base member; a light mounted on the base portion, and within the circular base member within the opening in the lower end of the balloon for providing light into the interior of the inflated balloon and the light, in turn, lighting the exterior of the balloon; Velcro strips positioned on an outer surface of the inflated balloon, so that a message display banner may be mounted to the Velcro strips for displaying messages on the inflated lighted balloon, as the balloon is moving or is stationary; and a zippered portion of the balloon body, so that when the blower is turned off, the balloon is deflated, and the balloon is able to be stored within an area between walls of the base portion and the light, so that a cap member may be placed over the light and the entire system may be transported in the deflated state.
