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:
