Has anyone else ever set up a balloon drop?

I've done it for my 2000 and 2008 Election Night parties.

The key is threading a very loose (easily removable) ribbon between the ends of two sides of a mesh basket.

I spent many years doing stage managing, and had occasion to set up balloon drops for New Years shows and stuff.

I think I did a half dozen or so. They all worked great.
