This weekend (September 3-5) is the annual hot air balloon festival in Memorial Park!\u00a0 This is a really<\/em> fun* event for the whole family, and if you haven\u2019t yet been, I can tell you I think it\u2019s worth the effort to get up early or stay up late!<\/p>\n

The main event starts on Saturday morning, when the balloons lift off around 7 AM.\u00a0 Then, on Saturday night, you can see the balloons on the field with their fires lit, know as the \u201cBalloon Glo\u201d.\u00a0 The same events repeat on Sunday, and then on Monday morning you can see the balloons launch one last time.<\/p>\n

Note that all of these events are weather-permitting<\/em>, which is why there\u2019s an asterisk up there next to \u201creally fun\u201d.\u00a0 It\u2019s fun when you get to see the balloons lift off, but it\u2019s not<\/em> so fun when they can\u2019t lift off because of wind or other weather conditions.\u00a0 A couple of years ago they also cancelled one of the Balloon Glo events because of rain.<\/p>\n
