Dave throws like a little gurrrrl!

Dave told me he actually HIT the pole in one of the races and didn't snag the envelope with like, 10k and the keys to a car in it! I need to start going to these things. Cool story though. Great job Commodore.

Racing by morning, waiting by night

Strong and gusty breezes kept 32 balloon teams out of the sky Saturday afternoon, the third day of the 2008 U.S. Bank Balloons, Tunes and BBQ Festival at the Bowling Green-Warren County Regional Airport. But that didn't keep the crews from trying, or from enjoying the event's other entertaining aspects throughout the day.
