Prosser Balloon Festival

We then moved on to the Balloon Fiesta in Prosser, Washington. This was fun in it's own right and good practice for the big gathering in Albuquerque coming up in October.


Friday we watched the balloons inflate and take off from the field. It was a working day so the ascent was when each balloon was ready. This was Mickey Mouse's first appearance since they put his black ears back on (last year he was wearing a gold hat and ears in honor of Disney's 50th anniversary).


The next day we found where the balloons dip into the river.


That night we attended the balloon glow that featured six balloons at the high school stadium.


Sunday morning we saw the dawn patrol balloon dip in the river and then . . .


. . . there was a mass ascension.
