Just got home from my first OPOP.  Had a great time talking with everyone.  Helped launch the balloon this morning.  Big THANKS to Dale and crew for putting on a good show.  The only down side was that the ground was too hard for the plows... They had a hard time digging in even with a little extra balast... lol.  Weather was nice and cool on Friday, and a little warmer but tolerable today.  Anybody that has pictures please upload them.

I've never been up close to a balloon before, so it was neat to see how everything worked and actually get to help... I even got a short ride during the landing... lol.  And thanks for the photos.
