Hot Air Balloon Glow
There will be 6 hot air balloons. Balloons arrive at 4:30 p.m. and will inflate at approximately 5:45 p.m. (weather dependent; winds must be below 5mph). Balloons remain on the ground during the event. All of the pilots are very friendly and love for you to visit and ask questions.
