Plano Balloon Festival

This year I have been attending quite a few of the local festivals. This weekend was the Plano Balloon Festival. They were celebrating their 30th year and it's become a magnificent event. Of course the balloons are the main attraction but they also have good local music and vendors of all kinds. We decided to give Outback Jack's peppersteak sandwich a try and it was awesome! I was very impressed by the attendance, it seemed like every inch of space was taken up by people. The balloons are quite a sight and it's exciting to see them take off into the sky. The day is capped off by a balloon glow which is definitely something to be seen. They also had a fireworks display last night, but we opted to leave early to beat the traffic. The festivities continue today so there is still a chance to attend. Here are a few shots and more can be seen here, with more to come soon: Colleen G. Drew
