The "glow" is a very exciting event, because the balloons stay tethered, so you can see them so close..

The bees are very popular stars at the Special Shapes "Glowdeo."

This was my favorite traditionally shaped balloon.

A minute later, and the bee's stingers are "glowing."

After the Balloon Glow, there is a huge fireworks show.

The fireworks are ignited from two different locations on the balloon field.
