On Friday evening the
pilots of 19 hot air balloons, along with members of the Balloons
Over 66 committee, city representatives, and county board
representatives, helped kick off the weekend with a ribbon cutting
ceremony held in the large open field at Open Arms Church.
Balloon committee chair Austin Hopp, with help from committee member
Kathy Williams, snipped the ribbon to get the weekend started.

Friday night the main
attraction at Open Arms Church was the beautiful glow of the cluster
of hot air balloons gathered in the center of the large open field
adjacent to the Hargrove Chapel.
While Friday evening crowds are always smaller than Saturday night,
a large gathering of spectators waited patiently until the announcer
shared that it was all right to walk among the balloons on the
field.
Then, for approximately 30 minutes, the announcer called out at
various times for the pilots to glow, long glow, flicker, or flicker
to the music playing over the sound system.
Balloons will be returning to the field tonight (Saturday 8/29) for
another lauch and glow.
