Up in the dark at 5:00 AM and caught the shuttle bus to the balloon grounds for the opening ceremonies and lift off at 7:00. Everything cancelled due to strong winds high up so back to the bus for a nap. Norm did a bunch of polishing. We went to a balloon pilot and equipment demo at the event tent at 11:00.After lunch we walked back over to the balloon museum for an hour before heading back to the field. Watched the balloons get inflated for the night glow followed by fantastic fireworks at 7:30 - 8:00
