Because we never pass on an opportunity to make dumb Zoo Balloon jokes, or to mention past dumb Zoo Balloon jokes.

Missed this when it was announced, but we can never pass on any announcement about the Zoo Balloon, as it provides ideal material for making stupid puns. In this case, the announcement was that there will be a zoo balloon for at least another year:
The zoo struck an agreement with Lindstrand Hot Air Balloons Ltd. in England to have the balloon for this year only. The future of the attraction beyond October is still up in the air, according to Andrew Baker, the zoo's chief operating officer.
The new balloon, which will display the words "Soar Once More," will be inflated Friday and in operation soon after.
