The Adirondack Balloon Festival in Queensbury, New York

Dave, Kathy, Eric & I arrived
at the Floyd Bennett Memorial 
Airport for the Adirondack
Balloon Festival.







The specks you see in the airport picture are kites.

The engineer is helping

passengers board the train

for a ride around the airport.

Sad that you don't have kite?

Buy one & watch it fly.

Our group selfie.

Warren County Flying Club

brought planes to the event.

There are many vendor tents to visit while we wait for the balloons to inflate.

Fried Bread Dough

Marshall's Magnetic

Jewelry

The I Love NY tourism booth

These puppets are

sooo cute!

Airbrush Tattoos has lots

of designs to choose from.

Pizza Pies-On Wheels

Nodrog Farms brought

Alpaca yarn & knit items.

This is a great place for people watching.

The little girl looks like
she's ready to jump off
Dad's shoulders & take
off running.

This man got lots of attention
with his Segway & its  big,

beefy tires.

Balloons were scheduled to launch at 5:00 pm, weather permitting.







At 5:30 pm, a balloon inflates.

It looks like it will launch,

but then it deflates.

A second balloon inflates.

Then it starts to

deflate.

It's too windy to launch balloons.  Dave, Kathy, Eric and I head back to Yogi Bear's Camp-Resort. There are more beers to sample.
