Balloon Festivals..... Why would I want to go to one of those?? I remember thinking that when a friend asked... and I declined... NOW I realize..how foolish of me to miss an opportunity to go.... why was I thinking helium balloons no big deal..... Well let me tell you I changed my tune fast! ha ha ha Would I ever say no again.....not now that I know what it is all about.. and if you have never seen this for yourself... I highly recommend it!!!!!!! |

One never realizes just how massive these balloons are until you see them stretched out on the ground, watching as huge fans inflate the balloons. |

Everything about a hot air balloon is impressive. I was in total amazement when I went to the first festival.. there was so much to see, I didn't know where to look first! |

The sound of the dual burners is unforgettable as the air is heated to lift the balloon up on it journey. Festivals in Vermont range from 20- 50 balloons, although any amount is an awesome sight, a person must be overwhelmed at seeing 75- 100 at one festival ..... ahhhh in my dreams! |

In varying states of inflation, here you have an idea, from the size of the people, how large these balloons are and also how small they fold up to when in their carrying case. |
