By the end of the day, most of the helium balloons were looking pretty sorry rather than very festive. The wind blowing the bunches into the palm trees caused a lot of them to pop, while the high heat caused others to deflate.

Greetings from California offered a few merchandise options. Here is the limited-edition event pin.

T-shirts were also offered with the event logo on the back and date on the front.

After our day at the Disneyland Resort, we found this "ticket" on our car's windshield. It was a marketing piece for 10-8 saying that "Failure To Watch Could Ruin Your Sunday."
