Etiquette requires the use of a low decibel level generator such as the Honda 2000, or Yamaha of equal size. We had no complaints using ours.

Those bright colors and interesting hot air shapes have got to help drive the grump away. And fun loving should be easy for all of us, otherwise, why go. However the "sing out loud" thing could be an assault on that decibel limit that seems to draw undue attention. But a good belly laugh should pass review.

Keep the smiles coming. Pat

music

If Nanci from CA is there, music will be happening somewhere. We played several evenings at various trailers. Some excellent local musicians came out to play as well but we quit before 10:00.

Sept is the month we put out tons of info - so watch your email and the website over the next few days and weeks - as mentioned above the team is "fine tuning" the schedule as we speak [emoji4]

If you go thru Amarillo be sure and stop at Bills Backyard Classics. He has some awesome cars. Also just south is PaloDuro Canyon, a really great place with great rock formations.

Balloon Fiesta was quite an experience. Certainly a bucket list item worth the effort to check off. Hard to believe there are that many balloons flying. Very impressive event.

Thanks to Ken and all the volunteers. They work very hard to put on this special event. Pat

Hi we would like to attend. I don’t have FB so I pulled up the website and in the registration page it asks for your WBCCI number which we don’t have because we are not members. Do we have to be members to attend?
