Balloon Glow
The highlight of the balloon festival in my book was the "Balloon glow". As you probably guessed, the balloon pilots lit up the burners and made their balloons glow in the evening darkness.
An announcer coordinated the different kinds of burns.
There were a line of several baskets and burners without attached balloons off to one side. These were "candle burns" and done to the melody of several classical songs. This was new for 2008. Overall, it was quite spectacular.
Here is the appreciative crowd in the area where I was standing. As I said, there were lots and lots of people who turned out for this.
