The last couple of weekends here in Texas have seen balloon festivals in two of the cities north of Dallas. We had the pleasure of shooting both of them. The first was Celina's Park Fest, the latest in a series of fantastic community events the city puts on. The day was full of music, food, kids, dogs and of course balloons...

The festival this past weekend was up in Corinth, where the city put on their inaugural 'Pumpkin Palooza'. It was such a success that several of the vendors sold out so quickly they had to make a run home to restock! More music, balloons and fun stuff for the kids to do along with a car show. The pumpkin pie speed eating for kids and grown ups was quite a sight... Congratulations to both Celina and Corinth for putting on such great community festivals.
