We didn’t always have to rise before dawn but this was one of those rare mornings.
For the second year in a row, we volunteered at a hot air balloon festival in Plano, Texas, helping a booth that offered free blood pressure screenings and health education to interested festival goers. The best part was sharing simple, preventive health tips—plus a few fun freebies to take home.
What excited us most about the festival was watching the hot air balloons slowly inflate, then drift off toward unknown destinations. We also loved wandering the grounds and sampling treats from the different booths.
We had a wonderful time watching the hot air balloons drift overhead and strolling around the festival grounds, and because we arrived so early, we were able to enjoy it all without any crowds.

Sounds like it was worth getting up early to volunteer at this festival! I imagine it was quite the sight to see all those hot air balloons.
The hot air balloons were still quite a sight to see with all the accompanying music and announcements. I remember seeing these hot air balloons back in the day when they looked like a group of enthusiasts and we were the small crowd gathering around them. Now, there are fences, security, a stage for the band, booths, and a horde of people. I still think the food that came with the booths were the best thing that came along.
