Blue Rock State Park - Balloon Stomp for Mark Twain Day, 1995: Blue Rock State Park often hosts a Mark Twain Day celebration during the summer. Rather than celebrate the life and work of prominent American author Samuel Clemens (1835-1910) who wrote novels under the pen name "Mark Twain," this is a weekend event filled with traditional music, fun, and food from the 1870s. The participants in this photograph play balloon stomp-a game where players have a balloon tied to their ankle that competitors attempt to stomp. The winner is the last person with an inflated balloon.
