Balloons in Ravenna

Every September, the town of Ravenna (next town to the east from Kent) holds their Balloon-A-Fair. It's a two-day festival with many activities, food concessions, etc. We usually go by to see the hot-air balloon launches. That's what we did this evening.

The traffic was really moving at a snail's pace as we got close to the location. We just found a place to park in time to see most of the balloons (about 20) inflate and launch. Then, since the wind was pretty much blowing to the west, we followed many of the balloons as we drove home. The last photo shows one that was visible from our driveway.
