1st Annual Frankenmuth Balloon Fest

During the Memorial Day Weekend, many activities were held in my small community of Frankenmuth, Michigan. The city hosted the Tour de Frankenmuth Bike Race, a series of athletic events for dogs, a wonderful Memorial Day service, and the 1st Annual Frankenmuth Balloon Fest.

Few things capture the imagination like a hot air balloon. Though the technology of hot air ballooning is quite old, people of all ages stop and stare when they see one. The photo above is from the Balloon Illume which was held on Saturday night of the 3 day event.
