the ADK Ballon festival is this weekend. it's really cool, worthwile. if you go, note there is a breakfast buffet at the airport hangar and it's pretty good. you can git your eat on.

walking among these colorful giants as they are inflated is really neat. BRING YOUR CAMERA! Saturday AM is the best, but there are other events including Moonglow where the balloons are ground tethered and glow in the night darkness when their burners are fired. pretty.
