Earlier this summer, the fine folks at the Indian Trails Public Library inquired about creating a giant dinosaur sculpture to help kick off their summer reading programming for 2026.

With balloons from Cool Party Balloons right here in the Chicago area, and an early start in my balloon office, I think things worked out pretty well!

You can still visit the Danny the Dinosaur display a bit longer at the library so check it out (and some books!) today!

Check out the entire build video plus the final Dinosaur Balloon Sculpture on Youtube!
