I do this event every year and have been since don't know when. I love my balloons so will have to get down to Temecular next year all being well. Sadly a a lack of Special Shapes this year but not a bad turn out generally though many I missed at the morning launch failed to turn-out at my only chance to see them at the evening launch on the 8th August and I could not wait for the night-glow that evening sadly as had to get back home which was 2 1/2 hours away...the journey there took 6 damn hours due to traffic jams everywhere!! Anyway, here's a few from the event.

Nice!!  It's an awesome sight to see the spectacular colors and the sheer size of some of these balloons.  I don't think the pictures do them justice, seeing them in person gives a whole different perspective of what they are all about.  What we need is an APSoCal themed balloon to join in on the fun.    Anyone know of any local balloon events?
Anyhow, thanks for sharing Baz!
