Last night we drove over to where the hot air balloons were taking off but only saw 2 in the air. They had advertised balloon rides starting at 7:30 but I think what you see below is what they refer to as a "ride". The 9 balloons shown below were still tethered to the ground and I think they probably took you up and right back down, never really flying. We drove back over there this morning and the place was deserted. Some festival! It was supposed to last until September 3 but we didn't see any signs of any balloons. Oh well... there were supposed to be 75 hot air balloons and I saw a total of 5 on Saturday morning, 2 last night plus the 9 here on the ground for a grand total of 16, not sure where all the others were. We did enjoy the few we saw. Today is moving day so we are off to a park in Georgia for the next 2 weeks.
