This ❤️

Dear Ashland BalloonFest friends, we would like to congratulate you on another incredible year of hot air balloons over our community. We know that your hundreds of volunteers worked tirelessly these last several days, and that your committee has been meeting monthly (weekly? hourly?) to make sure we have a fun, safe, busy weekend filled with balloons, and a whole lot more. Mother Nature likes to keep you on your toes, but you really have no control over what she does with the wind, rain, and such.

Or do you?

I knew you had sent balloons over our downtown on Friday, because the kids at our concert started excitedly cheering and pointing and "ooh!"ing, while people's phones went up to capture the magic of Balloons over Main Street. If you pulled some strings with the weather, thank you, because the joy you brought downtown was palpable. I owe you one! If we just got lucky, then thank you again, because having hot air balloons over our downtown only happened because of your hard work and dedication.
Keep flying, friends. Love you, mean it.
❤️

Pilot, Chuck Walz, and the Yellow Bird Crew gave the Caine Family an extra special experience this evening…

Brittany, who is visually impaired, had the privilege of lighting up Walz’s burner during tonight’s shortened version of a Balloon Glow. Pictured with her is husband, Andrew, and daughter, Autumn.

Way to go, Yellow Bird Crew! 👏🏼❤️

Unfortunately, the winds are not allowing balloons to inflate safely for tonight’s scheduled glow. Pilots are lining up along the fence line now and will use their burners to put on a brief show ending by 8:50pm.

Around 7:45pm several balloon will attempt to inflate for crowd photos. *Weather Pending*

Our sincerest apologies for missing our gathered spectators this morning! We always aim to fly as close to Freer Field as possible. Today, winds took us north of town toward the Industrial Park.

We are looking forward to another great scheduled flight this evening … stay tuned! 🎈
