Canton Hot Air Balloon Classic Evening Ascension

Traffic around the Classic was a mess, so we parked near Rockne's at The Strip to watch the evening ascension. Not close enough for great photos, but we had a good time anyway. And because traffic was a mess when we left, we stopped at the bookstore, had a frozen mocha and browsed. Nothing went as planned, but we had a wonderful time anyway.

Camp Chuck, complete with video. Isn't technology great?

I think they were launching around 30 balloons. We didn't see them all, but what the heck, this is more balloons than I've ever seen in the air at one time.

The flamingo balloon was one of my favorites.

Love the colors on this one - it's for a winery.

Next year, we're getting to the field much earlier - hope we have as much fun!!
