Balloon Festival Continued

 Meet Sarah!

I thought she had a lovely smile.  She was at the balloon festival helping with crowd control, etc.   It's always nice to have someone around helping out!

Nice smile, too!

Thanks Sarah!

 

 

Balloon Festival Participants: The Little Devil!

 Now, that is a captivating smile.  For some reason I am envisioning the Song of the Siren's and being drawn in!!

Please meet Elizabeth.   

 Thanks Elizabeth. It was lovely chatting with you!

More Balloon Festival Participants

 Meet Jeanne and Dee!

If memory serves me correctly (which is not entirely a certainty) these are the mothers of Alisha and Ashley!   I spotted them walking together and managed to talk them all into letting me take their photos.

Thanks Jeanne and Dee!

Meet Alisha and Ashley!

They were having a lovely time wandering around and chatting when I interrupted them and asked to take their photo.   As you can see, they were more than happy to smile for the camera!

Balloon Festival: Face painting Fairy for the Kids!

 Meet Christina!

She was having a wonderful time painting the faces of a long line of little kids.  Her customers were as cute as could be both before, and after, she finished.   As usual in this blog, almost no pics of little kids.  

Thanks Christina!

The US Army was well Represented!

And meet Britt!

My thanks to both of you.  Wonderful smiles!

When Filling Balloons, You Need Strong Help

 During the balloon festival, I was able to watch various balloons be unpacked, rolled out, fans started and then the burners fired to create more hot air.

This all requires help.  Below are photos of helpers holding the balloon open for air and heat. 

 

The final product....nearly ready!
