Sequim skies are going to have a new event! In 2012, over Labor Day weekend, Sequim will host the inaugural Sequim Balloon Festival. Organizers expect about 20 balloons and will have early morning group launches, balloon rides, and a “night glow” when balloonists will turn on their heaters to illuminate the floating beauties. There will also be music, races, a children’s play space, a wine-grape stomp, and a food court.
The organizers have found that this period, Sept. 1-3, is among our best weather time and rarely sees rain or high winds. If you’re considering a trip to Sequim, it might be fun to come to this new event.

Beautiful shot! Thanks for sharing it!
Wonderful wisps!
That is a fun shot, look at that blue! I think the Balloon Festival is a great idea and I’m looking forward to it. The weather has been so nice lately!
Oh..oh..OH!! I wish I could… especially to catch some night shots with the burners lighting the canopies… I can see it now!! Of course I know you will… yes!!
This is a fascinating shot of those wispy clouds and contrails – very neat.
Great picture to use to talk about the balloon festival – some of those clouds look like hot air balloons!
