TOPEKA (KSNT) – The Goodyear Blimp will be honoring Topeka tire plant workers by taking to the skies over the Capital City this week.
Jen Epling with Goodyear said in a press release the iconic Goodyear Blimp will be paying respect to the local tire plant that’s been open since 1945 in a visit that will last from Aug. 4-6. The blimp will be offering rides to local plant associates on Aug. 5 and 6. Goodyear will be tethering the blimp at the Topeka Regional Airport.
“The blimp’s visit celebrates the dedication of the Goodyear-Topeka team and the high-quality tires they manufacture in Topeka every day,” Goodyear wrote in a press release.
The Goodyear Blimp took its maiden voyage just outside of Akron, Ohio in 1925. The blimps have served as escorts for American ships during WWII, flown at more than 2,000 events and even served the first non-player or coach inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame.
