This week’s photo gallery captures a glowing night in Forest Park, as thousands gathered for music and illuminated balloons ahead of the Great Forest Park Balloon Race. We also celebrate Gala En Blanc’s support for young learners, with Urban Sprouts Child Development Center raising more than $471,000 for early childhood education, nutritious meals, and nature-based play. Plus, see the aftermath of the Ferguson train derailment, where rail cars carrying trucks lay beneath a damaged bridge, along with more scenes from across the St. Louis region.
