Friday, late evening, January the 10th, 2025.
Just a quick update on this year's Balloon Festival.
So far, during the first two days of the four day event, not one single Hot Air Balloon has taken flight.
Yesterday, Thursday, the wind was too high for safely flying the Hot Air Balloons.
The perfect wind speed for flying Hot Air Balloons is from 4 mph to 6 mph.
Thursday we had some winds of 22 mph.
Today, Friday, "on paper" we had an absolutely perfect "wind speed day"
And yet, even with absolutely perfect winds, there was not one single Hot Air Balloon that "took to the sky".
I am not able to explain this. The balloon pilots, as a group, make all of the decisions on all flights and I am not privy to their meetings.
Tomorrow morning (8 AM to 11 AM) I will be in action as a volunteer for the 5K and 10K runs.
