On Friday evening, after work, we met a friend at Chik-Fil-A and then rode to Howard County Fairgrounds, where we caught a shuttle (school) bus to Turf Valley for a Preakness Celebration.
Can you tell what kind of celebration it was?
Here's a bigger hint:
We saw a lot of hot air balloons, but the highlight of the evening is the "Balloon Glow." It was really cool!
The MC would count "One-Two-Three" and then everyone there would shout "Glow Please!" And the balloon operators would try to make their balloons glow all at the same time!
We were really glad we got to see it! If you want to see more balloon photos, they are posted here:

How fun! In a neighboring town, they have a balloon festival that is pretty awesome too. We have never stayed after dark so I don't know if they do this or not. But how beautiful to see! Looks like Melissa was happy to experience this too. :o)
It must have been amazing to see all these balloons light up. What a fun evening.
Breathtaking! We have a Balloon Fest in Ashland every 4th of July weekend...and weather permitting, the balloons sometimes fly right over our farm. A few years ago, one landed just down the country road!
Around here we have way too many trees to ever have hot air balloons.
