RIDES 2009

The Balloons rose from the beautiful Quechee Green Friday evening

with partially clear, sunny, skies following a quick torrential downpour!

The Balloon Glow after dark was magical.

Many happy riders & balloonists thoroughly enjoyed flights on

Saturday morning (partly clear skies)

and Saturday evening (cloudy, but warm, calm & gorgeous).

The Sunday AM ascension was fabuolous (cloudy and damp).

And after monitoring the skies until after 7PM, the

Sunday PM ascension was called off due to wind.
