As you can see for this picture, there were a number of companies advertising their products. This one is a restaurant in LHC. I liked the steer showing the cuts of beef.

There was an antique car show for all to view. These cars are pretty common here as we see them on the streets. The weather is always so nice here - no bad weather, so no rust & sun so you can roll down the windows & enjoy the day.

Tons of people from all over - the hotels were full.
A view overlooking the city of Lake Havasu nestled in the Mohave Mountains.

We were there for the mass take out of balloons but the winds had picked up on the Colorado River & take off was cancelled for the 4:00pm & 6:00pm ascension so i took pictures of the few baskets that were visable.
