The world's largest gathering of hot air balloons starts this Saturday, the 6th. It attracts many tens of thousands of people from all over the country and world, plus around 800-1000 balloons of all shapes and colors. Cameras and media are EVERYWHERE!

Events even go into the night which is probably my favorite time to go, personally, but the morning mass ascentions are truly a sight to behold -- the whole sky littered with hundreds of colorful, lazy hot air balloons. Oh, and the fireworks displays are awesome.

Just wondering if anyone from these forums are planning to go.
