Monday of last week, we went to Hot Springs to do a story on the proposed after hours alcohol consumption law.  (read story here)

Tuesday, we headed to Conway for the 70th Annual Faulkner County Fair Parade.  Barry Brandt did weather and we had a ton of fun!  I want to thank First State Bank in Downtown Conway for allowing us to set up in their parking lot for this parade.  Due to the timing of the Parade and our live shots, I was able to actually sit and watch much of the Parade.  It was pretty cool!  The theme this year was "Get Smart, Go Green".

Wednesday, it was off to East Camden due to a reported explosion at the Aerojet Plant. (read story here)

Friday, we had our KFC Tailgate Party at Lake Hamilton High School.  The turnout was HUGE!  I estimate around 250 people were there.  Chopper 7 and crew made an appearance as well.  I have put a few pictures below from the Tailgate Party.

A Great Turnout for the Tailgate Party!

Saturday, I was back in Hot Springs, at the airport for the Smoke on the Water and The Legends Balloon Rally.  This was one of the coolest shots I have done because it involved many of my favorite things.  Barbecue, Cars, and Hot Air Balloons.  Actually, I enjoy anything that flies.  Being around them was really neat because it is something, at least for me, you don't get to do very often.  I have put a few pictures below.  Just Click on the Picture to see a larger version.

It's back to Austin later this week.  I love Texas!

Until next time!
