A couple weeks ago my community had a balloon launch as part of an annual celebration and I posted a few photos I took during the launch. This past weekend, another community in the region had an entire weekend dedicated to balloons. One of the more spectacular activities is the Night Glow, in which balloons fill with air and then they all really put the burners on to glow light into the nylon. Here they are filling with air.
