"Hot" was definitely the key word for the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival this past weekend in Foley, Alabama.
In spite of temperatures rising to the upper 90's on Saturday, everyone enjoyed the balloons (over 40 participated),
the World-Famous Frisbee Dogs, the great food, excellent vendors.... by golly, it was just FUN!!!
The balloons flew in about 6:00 AM on Saturday morning to try and hit a target on the field.
(Yes, I got up at 4:00 AM for this!)
The World-Famous Frisbee Dogs were very entertaining... and energetic!!
Came back out to the festival Saturday afternoon where I hoped to see another fly-in
and the evening balloon glow. Unfortunately, we had some nasty-looking clouds moving in from
the north and the pilots decided not to risk a fly-in. Only three of the balloons
inflated and participated in that evening's glow.
