Dance shoes invade horse town.
Last weekend, I joined in my family's annual tradition of visiting Saratoga Springs, NY. The small town is usually associated with horse racing.
And there off! The beginning of a race at Saratoga Race Course.
In 2002, the town added Fiberglass horses throughout, according to Saratoga.com. But the town is also home to the National Museum of Dance; so this year they added 24 giant ballet slippers.

It's an interesting choice figuring the town is also celebrating 150 years of the race track.

Most displays of large fiberglass items throughout a town are usually animals, such as NYC's cow parade, and Catskill, NY's cats. Thus, I was so excited to see shoes!
Given it was dark and they were pretty spread out, I only saw four. They were very well done and showed all the things shoes could represent. Each one is 5 ft tall!
Here they are:
