A Lot of Hot Air

Plano,Texas,Sunday,Septermber 19,2010:
The 31st Annual Plano Balloon Festival concluded yesterday with the final flights of about 20 baloon teams. The ReMax Sky Divers parashooted to a perfect landing. There were 41 501 (c) (3) non-profits at the event this year. There were radio stations and a tv station there with tents. A rock climbing wall,events for the kids and the food vendors filled the air with that carnival-like smell of fried corn dogs,funnel cakes,bar-b-que and pizza. Iced tea,lemonaide,energy drinks,crafts,energy demos,balloon rides,cars,political candidates made up another row of tents. The crowds were larger than expected and a warmer than usual mid-September afternoon also was everywhere. Parking has always been a problem. The most efficient way around that was to DART to Parker Road Rail Station and take the free shuttle (about a 10-minute ride). The savings on parking fees paid for the first round of food and drink. Ride the rail next year folks!!

The grounds were posted with signs that photography was occuring on the festival grounds. These are editorial shots anyway but here are a few from the afternoon.
