I remember a few years ago I went to a big hot air balloon festiville in Plano. Do any of our N. Dallas or Plano members know when it will be this year? Thanks.

I hope the weather is better than the last couple of years. We live just NW of the park and if the winds come from the south they fly right over our backyard.
