'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.

SEMIFINALIST

"Balloon Peep (Based on the Balloon Boy)" by David Higginbotham, Coleen Kivlahan and Peter Higginbotham of Manassas re-creates the Falcon Heene scandal... The dioramists include a TV with a "Breaking News" screen shot and a Peep hiding in the toy box upstairs.
