Mister Rogers arrives with a handful of balloons. After inflating a few he asks Picture Picture to share a film about a man making things out of balloons.

Outside on the porch, Mr. McFeely has delivered a helium tank which Mister Rogers uses to inflate a few more balloons. When Officer Clemmons stops by on his way to the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, Mister Rogers asks him to take the helium balloons to Henrietta Pussycat. Before he leaves, Officer Clemmons sings I Like You As You Are with Mister Rogers.

In the Neighborhood of Make-Believe, the carnival is underway as Robert Troll tries out Corney's "Rockit to the Moon" -- an attraction where he rocks in a chair as Corney lowers a pretend moon towards them. Meanwhile, Henrietta Pussycat sells her last balloon to Lady Aberlin just as Officer Clemmons arrives with the balloons from Mister Rogers.

After Lady Aberlin and Mime Walker perform their tight rope walk, Daniel Striped Tiger opens his wild animal exhibit. The "wild tiger" frightens Robert Troll until he realizes that it is just Daniel wearing a mask.

King Friday and Queen Sara arrive outside the castle led by Officer Clemmons. Henrietta is upset when some of her balloons float away and is comforted and taken home by Lady Aberlin and Officer Clemmons.

Back at the house, Mister Rogers talks about how fun things can sometimes make a person tired and suggests that when that happens, it is usually time to go home. He concludes for the week by singing I'm Taking Care of You.


Notes

Everything at the carnival -- admission, rides, balloons -- costs three claps each.
