Thumbs up Great Texas Baloon Race in Longview Texas This Weekend! - 07-12-2006, 09:57 AM

Could not find out if there is a fee to get into the launch area, if there is it usually is not very expensive.
Only crazy Texans would launch hot air baloons when the afternoon temps hit 100!
I have not been to this one but if it is like most it is a very photogenic event.

I posted about this a few weeks ago. Does anyone know where the Saturday morning launch area will be? Predawn filling and early morning launch seems like the best photo time and coolest part of the day.

Give the Longview Vistors Center a call they can tell you or find out.

I am pretty sure they normally launch around the Eastman Plant on the east side of town.

I used to love the race when I lived in Longview. A few of the guys I used to work with always did it.

Prophet out.
