Fact: St. Louis-based battery firm Energizer debuted its famous Energizer Bunny 20 years ago.

Fact: The official name for the balloon is the Hot Hare Balloon.

Not a Fact: Rapper Nelly was inspired to pen his Hot in Herre single after seeing the balloon for the first time.

Fact: You can see Hot Hare -- and dozens of other dirigibles -- beginning tonight at the Balloon Glow and tomorrow at the kickoff of the Great Forest Park Balloon Race.
