Description
This festival was organized by two individuals; Claudia and Aj - both owning partners. This was the first event of its kind in South Texas (south of Floresville, Texas), and featured 10 hot air balloons (including specialty shapes: Tweety Bird and Sylvester The Cat). Our Balloon Meister was Robert Ambeau. The festival featured a full service Carnival with adult and children rides, several musical acts, a mustang car show, fajita cook-off, food/drink vendors, arts and crafts vendors, regional Folklorico dancers, photo booths and a kiddie transport train. This area is less than 60 miles from the Gulf Coast of South Texas. We had approximately 20,000 people in attendance this year!
