Balloons 5

We had just taken off from Lisle Community Park, the previous location of the stage events, and had a view of the festival and the swimming pool, all empty at 6:00 AM.

Hot Air Balloons


Planning a visit to Washington led me to my collection of Hot Air Balloon photos. I have updated my slides into digital ones and I have several from four balloon flights I made during the 1980s. In my role working summers with the Lisle Park District, I was the onstage emcee for Eyes to the Skies Hot Air Balloon Festival (and I also did posters, so I coined the Eyes phrase).
Some of my best memories of the fests were the chances I had to fly. In the next several posts, we will look at ballooning.
