Balloon Fest and car show!!!

Whah?!?! Can it be? A balloon festival and a car show all in one morning? In the same town? Is that even possible?

Yes, yes it is. Welcome to Midland, MI. Last Saturday was the local balloon festival and a car show all in one morning. Although the weather was quite frigid for mid-September we had a blast watching balloons magically take on life and fly off into the crystal blue skies to the east, all while drinking our hot cocoa :) Afterwards we went downtown where the car show was just starting to rev up. Our favorites were the vintage fire truck and Barney Fife-esque police car. As far as balloons go, it's hard to have a favorite but Sugar Bear, Garfield, the double cheeseburge and the little pirate were all fun balloons to watch. This is definitely the weekend to stay off the roads as a lot of in-town drivers are paying no attention at all to the task at hand. Rather they are looking up and watching the balloons. Yikes!
