As the seasons changed, so did Mr. Thompson's balloons. In autumn, he would create pumpkins and turkeys for Halloween; in winter, he would twist snowmen and reindeer. His stall became a vibrant representation of the joy of childhood through the lens of imagination. And every year, on the last Saturday of summer, he held a grand balloon festival, inviting families to gather and celebrate the end of the season with games, laughter, and, of course, his wonderful balloon creations.
