A great memory, the Balloon Fiesta. My friend and I got our (then) little girls up at 0-dark-hundred to watch the balloons take off. Also, my nephew Tim Evans, has his own balloon. He has taken us up in it. I hope to go back some day.

maybe by regions - 'I live in the ....NE, NW, SE, SW....' As it fills, then you could drill it down into some states - start w/Ohio...

That is so awesome to watch !!! KOB has done a great job, but I couldn't get my home computer to download today - we have a very slow computer and I gave up after waiting and waiting and waiting, but on my work PC I was able to watch the special shapes go up - awesome - only word to describe it !!!!
