Balloons
Dozens of
Hot Air Balloons including the US Bank and RE/MAX Balloons will grace the
skies with their beauty on several occasions this weekend. It has been
said that the best time to watch a competition is during the morning
flights. Imagine seeing the sunrise with nothing but blue skies and white
clouds one minute and the next dozens of colorful balloons rise over the
tree line. It is a spectacular sight that everyone should see.
Beautiful and awe inspiring are just a couple of the words used to
describe this spectacular activity.
