Friday evening the first hot
air balloon launch of this year's festival went off without a
hitch. There was a short period of time when the breezes
kicked up and some wondered if it would be too windy for the evening
flights. But after a short while, the winds calmed a bit and
all the balloons launched.
As the balloons took to the sky and traveled
to the northeast, it was indeed a beautiful sight.
