The Great Cliffs Balloon Race will be held as part of the Cliffs of Moher’s bid to be named one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature next Tuesday evening at 4 o'clock.
700 North Clare primary school children will form a giant 7 on the cliff side and simultaneously release 700 biodegradable balloons.
Each balloon is printed with the ‘Vote for the Cliffs’ logo and a contact message to encourage people who find the balloons to contact the Cliffs. A prize will be awarded to the person who finds the balloon that has travelled the furthest.
