    Ooohh!! Thanks for the reminder, Stan!! I almost forgot about it. Think I will go with my camera + 70-200 VR lens.


    BostonRott...yes, it's an annual event, weather permitting. This hot air balloon event is part of a week long festivities related to the Preakness horse race which happens this Saturday. Wish I could go watch the Preakness but it's very expensive to get in on that day. Any other day would have been fine, I think. I've been there once on a non-Preakness week.

    Hope the weather is good Weds night for this hot air balloon thing!

    Stan...I just checked the weather forecase on NOAA..calling for thunderstorms Weds night and Thurs morning.chance of showers (for the 6:30am hot air balloon launch):D epressed

    That would be a bummer!! The hot air balloon event never seems to take off as planned just about every year.
