The first day of the Grant County( John Day) balloon fest has come to an end. This morning all 12 balloons lifted off from Mount Vernon Middle School and graced the skies with color. Everyone in attendance was excited to see all of the balloons. After the flight, all first time riders were lined up for one big celebration. Because of the temps this morning, we were very generous in not dousing them for their celebration.
All the pilots and crew went to breakfast at a local place and one of the sponsers. Although they were warned that we would all show up, I do not think they were prepared for the mass numbers.
The pilot and sponser dinner tonight was excellent as well. This was opened up to the community and the place that we had dinner was packed.
Everyone in town is very appreciative of us coming to town. Everywhere we go, they all stop and thank us for coming to make this happen. Everyone is very nice and this event is on my top 5 favorite events and it is only day 1.
Tomorrow will be more flights and a nite glow. I will post after tomorrows activities as well.
