Balloon Races Are Suddenly Cool. Why? Because, Instagram
Dr. Scott M. Lieberman/AP
You know what became way, way, way cooler to go to with the invention of Instagram? Attending anything where hot air balloons are present. Well, we have just the way to impress all your followers. The Great Texas Balloon Race on July 29th-August 4th feature daily races with some of the best balloon pilot talent in the game. Balloon flights begin every morning in Longview, the race’s homebase, which has officially been labeled as “The Balloon Race Capital of Texas.” If the races themselves seem a little advanced for your level of interest, Friday and Saturday night’s there are Balloon Glows, an incredible display of balloon art and color in the sky. Additionally, there are a nice array of food vendors, craft shops and plenty of other activities to keep you entertained when you're done taking your photo. Get ready for a lot of likes. #BalloonGlow
