Aiden Steininger of Sparks waits  anxiously while  balloon artist Don McQuarrie creates his balloon animal at a Cinco de Mayo  celebration in downtown Sparks. Residents of the neighborhoods who normally must put chairs or traffic cones in their  curbside parking places during the festival were relieved that such precautions were less needed this year. The crowd was smaller and more manageable than usual.
