One of the many highlights of Preakness Week (other than the race) is the balloon festival at the Turf Valley Resort in Ellicott City, Maryland.

A note about Wikimedia sites hosted by WordPress:

Some non-wiki Wikimedia Foundation sites are hosted by a third-party service provider, WordPress VIP. These sites may have the WordPress Stats module enabled. Stats is a service that allows us to understand how many visitors we get to our WordPress-hosted non-wiki sites, their location by country, and which pages, posts and links are the most popular. Only the Wikimedia Foundation and the service provider, Automattic/WordPress, have access to the raw Stats data, which is retained for a maximum of 30 days. For more information about Stats, see WordPress’ support page on the module.

  • use a browser that can block third-party cookies; or
  • install a plug-in to block locally-stored data, if one is available.

Turning off the browser’s cookies will prevent tracking pixels from tracking your specific activity.
