This one came the closest. There were 4 balloons in all, 3 near me, and the 4th off to the West about 1/2 mile.

Howell, MI area is well known for hot air balloons. They have an annual HAB Fest every August.

I'm thinking of going for a ride in one. Has anyone here done so? Advice?

Kool pics, Sir


They save the hot air from the democratic convention to fill the balloons

That is so cool! I love hot air balloons! It would be so cool to just look outside and see them. I used to take the kids to the festivals in Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. We have seen some pretty cool shaped ones! The balloon glows at night are really cool too! What interesting shapes have you seen?

ever see 800 at one time????

your pictures made me dig out my pictures from the Hot Air Balloon Fiesta out in Albuquerque, New Mexico in October. Ever see more than 800 or 900 balloons go up with a couple of hours?????? Sometimes all you can see is a sky filled with balloons!!!

I love 'em......been up a couple of times, and it is an awesome experience.....one morning, we landed in a pumpkin patch as the locals sat watching on the tailgates of their pickups.....ladies in their hair rollers and guys popping tops of beer......this was about 7:30 am

as long as you are not afraid of heights, go for it!
