For the 5th year in a row, Pellissippi State Technical Community College put on a Hot Air Balloon Festival. The festival consists of all manner of musicians, arts and crafts vendors, and of course, hot air balloons. Balloon pilots from all over the country come to the college to put on a show for the crowd. Visitors can enjoy tethered balloon rides, watch the balloon race lift-off, or hang around after dark for the “Glow”, which consists of a choreographed light display set to patriotic and popular hit songs. Pretty neat stuff. My wife Holly and I have some how managed to miss the past 4 years, so this year we loaded up with the Albino Bowler and drove down to check out the event. Much to our dismay though, the wind was not playing nice and so only three balloonists had their balloons aired up for display. It did prove to be a nice relaxing time however, and a chance to get an up close view of some hot air balloons. Oh well… there is always next year, right? |
