Thursday morning brought us the Special Shapes Rodeo. Special shaped balloons first took flight in 1989 at the Fiesta. The ideal wind speed for these special balloons is 5 mph.
I tried to pick my favorite shaped balloons but I failed. So it’s okay if you get tired of looking at pictures. I have three posts of the special shape balloons because it was just too many pictures for one post.
Lady Jester – Albuquerque
Gus T. Guppy – Minnesota
Con Air – California
Black Sheep – Brazil
Darth Vader – Belgium

Lottie Dottie Chicken – Brazile
Big Hug from Brazil
Captain Jack – Great Britain
Bimbo Bear – Texas
Armadillo – Brazil
The Alb Balloon Fiesta is the most favorite event for us. We've been there 6 or 7 times a are like little kids when we get down there among the balloons. If you need any pictures, we have about 3,000 of them.
