Description
Starting at 7pm we'll have inflatables, and food trucks on the front lawn of the Wytheville Community College Campus. Bring the family and dine out (really, we mean OUT) and boogie down while we wait for sunset and the featured act.Then, as the sun goes down, see the week end's hot air balloon pilots light up their crafts against the evening sky. The public is invited to come to the balloons to meet the pilots and crews AND to help hold down the balloons (can you say BALLAST?) Bring your camera, too, because you won't want to pass on the spectacle of these giants illuminated in the night.
