Skyfest 2006!

Friday was a bit too windy with gusts of 45 mph, but Saturday was perfect conditions and the festivities went as planned with 3 balloons offering tethered rides for children.

Sunday was beautiful also with almost no wind and
cold air to help the balloons lift.

The following photos were taken at Skyfest 2005 all 3 days.

We gotta let people know this is happening somehow

Landing is always tricky, watch out for the hay bails!

Over 2000 spectators and 19 balloons came from all over the country.

A perfect morning for balloon riding!

These kids had the ride of their lives!
