Hot air balloonists host trick-or-treat for Amarillo kids

Hot air balloonists host trick-or-treat for Amarillo kids

Posted: Updated:

Amarillo skies were fairly clear on Saturday with the exception of a few hot air balloons.
 
It was part of this year's Pirates of the Canyon hot air balloon rally and Saturday afternoon kids got to enjoy the balloons and do a little trick or treating. From live music, to food and drink vendors and of course candy and face painting for the kids it was a family fun event for everyone.

Organizers said doing Saturday's trick-or-treating event is one of their favorite parts of the rally because they get to interact with the community of Amarillo.

The balloon rally continues Sunday morning with a mass balloon ascension at Palo Duro Canyon. Lift off is at 7:45 a.m., but organizers encourage spectators to be there about sunrise at 6:30 because things get crowded early.
