'Tis the season for Peeps dioramas, and the Washington Post's contest brought in some astonishing entries, led by an amazing recreation of a scene from the movie Up. But this winner wasn't the only diorama that took flight. A previous semi-finalist recreated the October 2009 Fort Collins scene featuring Falcon "Balloon Boy" Heene and his bogus flight across a big chunk of Colorado. See the pic and the Post's description below.
