Balloons Over Bend...

is happening this weekend so Marc took his bike down to watch the festivities. At a very early hour on a Saturday, town was deserted. The balloons were staged from a new park in the Old Mill District.

Preparation and inflation involves lots of people.

As the sun fully rose there was more activity and more crowds.

The kids loved being involved and dwarfed by the balloons then suddenly they were all up, up and away.
