Giant Hot Air Balloon Race
presented by PROPANE Exceptional Energy

You have to rise early to see these colorful beacons lift high into the sky from the infield.

The Balloon Race began at dawn (approximately 6:50am) on Saturday, Aug 15 with the launching of the Indiana Propane Gas Foundation Hare Balloon from the grass infield. The rest of the 29 balloons in the registered field will be launched to give chase. All of the balloons were in the air by 7:30 AM. The direction the balloons flew depended on the wind currents that morning. Many of you listened to your favorite radio station or TV to get updated information on the projected flight path.

The Night Glow presented by PROPANE Exceptional Energy took place on Friday evening, Aug 14 at dusk - apx 8:45 - 9:15 PM. The balloons inflated but did not leave the ground and spectators could walk among the balloons and take pictures as the beautiful fabric is illuminated by the burners against the twilight sky.
