# 7 Frederick in Flight - Hot Air Balloon Festival


June 23, 2018

I thought it would be interesting to see hot air balloons and a balloon festival, but I wasn’t about to get up early enough to be there for a 6 am launch. So my dad and I instead went to the balloon glow they have at night. They event also had food trucks, music and a bunch of other things. When we arrived there were cars all over the place and we didn’t know if we would find a place to park until we found the handicap parking which still had plenty of spots left. The first thing we did was head for the food section and the Georgia boys barbecue stand and got a really good pulled pork sandwich. The whole place especially the food area was packed with people and difficult for me to get around in my wheelchair but I made it in and out. Then we found a spot to sit at the top of the hill and patiently waited. 





After a while they started firing up the balloons and then just as it was starting to get dark the wind started up and about that time the skydivers came down which was kind of interesting to watch. After that the wind kicked up even more and the show was canceled. This was a rather disappointing end to an adventure I was really looking forward to seeing.
