Balloon's Day Parade
Press articles about this event, from its origins to recent editions. Historical clippings about Truc-Troc, the artwork lending gallery and the 500-5000 operation are grouped here because they document the same democratic patronage approach carried by Mon De Rijck and Charline Mahy; they also appear in the Family section, but not in Carl's general press review.
