Hot Air Balloon Festival 2012




The Hot Air Balloon Festival at Green Grove Gardens, in Greencastle, Pa, was short lived this year. We planned on going Saturday afternoon but one thing lead to another. We stopped for supper on the way. But with one eye constantly looking to the sky waiting for the balloons. Maybe the wind was blowing them in a different direction than we expected. We then continued to Green Grove Gardens and only saw two balloons inflated. The evening flight was cancelled but we were told the night glow was on as well as the morning flights. We hung out waiting for the glow. And as we waited another and then another balloon was unrolled. In all a total of 7 inflated but one shut down before the glow.
Oh, yes, I got up in the morning and drove down before six AM only to meet a lot of vehicles headed out. Morning flights had been cancelled. Strong storms Sunday evening cancelled the evening flights also.
