Feeback from one spectator at last weekend's event:"It was pretty cool once the balloons went up. Nothing happened for a long time and no one knew what was going on. Turns out [the hot air balloons] could not take off because of a slight breeze in an unfavorable direction ... Eventually I found out that they planned to inflate briefly before sunset. I took the girls and just walked right up to the basket and looked inside the balloon ... [My three year old] was frightened by the noise, but eventually calmed and otherwise both girls seemed to enjoy the show (as well as the opportunity to stay up after bedtime.) [My chemist husband] was so excited and inspired by the event that he plans to do some sort of laboratory experiment to calculate the heat needed to set a balloon afloat!"
"The Taste of Oneonta event was good barring a few glitches, such as food running out! Actually, they opened the Red Caboose, which I think was a highlight and the balloons were awesome."
