Balloon Fest
This was our first year in the house that we got to experience Balloon Fest. Balloon Fest is an annual event that has been held in Ashland for the past 15 or so years. We have a real close view because it happens in the field just behind our house.
There were nearly 30 Balloons in the event and thousands of people show up just to see the balloons.

Just prior to the actual event, they offered tethered balloon rides. Katie, Emma and I got in line, but by the time we got in the basket, only Emma and I got on and she probably only looked for 20 seconds of our 4 minutes ride.
The Purple People Eater was the popular balloon for the kids.

At night, the balloon pilots put on a show with an orchastrated balloon glow. 17 balloons participated in this and it was a real crowd pleaser.

Early risers got the benefit of seeing the balloons launched. It seems that morning is the best time for balloons to be launched.
