This will be the third year I attempt to go to the Celina Balloon Fest. Last year, it was rained out when we arrived...and the year before we got there too late. I remember going to the Mesquite Balloon Festival yearly growing up, and it was always such a sight to behold.
Hot air balloons are one of my favorite things. Every Saturday morning I pass ballooners working to get their balloon airborne, or watch the skyline for drifting balloons. The land between Frisco and McKinney seems to be prime ballooning territory. Getting up early and working Saturdays the last 3 1/2 years has not been quite so bad knowing that on the drive in I get to see the colorful balloons in flight.
The Celina Ballon Festivities start on Friday night, June 27 for a balloon glow. This is my favorite part of the whole balloon festival. The baskets are all tied to the ground and the crew inflates them after the sun's gone down. The enormous balloons all lined up and glowing, full of hot air is such a beautiful silhouette against the night sky.
Saturday the activities include launching the balloons, arts and crafts, a skydiving team, another balloon glow once they land and a fireworks show to complete the weekend.
Let's just hope it doesn't rain!
