Note: OK, you noticed - no balloons! Well I got there at 8AM. No balloons! Lots of cars in the parking lot? As I started to leave, the chase cars and crews started to return. I noticed a lot of photographers and folks hanging around. Then the first crews unpacked the champagne, strawberries and cheese. Now I had been banking on the pancake breakfast, so I hung around and hung around. I guess the balloon folks are used to folks hangin' 'round and they do not offer the audience champagne, strawberries and cheese. I did meet some photographers who promised to send me actual balloon pictures, so we shall see--- --Webmeister Speik
OK, here are the balloons . . .!
These photos of and from, the actual Balloons over Bend are courtesy of our friend Mike Schmidt, President and CEO of the Bend Chamber of Commerce.
