Sunday Serenity #359

I've started creating my bucket list and a hot air balloon ride will be high on it.

I went looking for info on the next Rogue Valley Balloon Rally for next summer to link to here and to put it on my calendar as something I would like to attend if only to watch.  But the last RV Rally I found any info on was the July 2010.  Then I found a Medford Mail Tribune article about them loosing their funding and canceling in 2011.

What a shame as it was a marvelous charity with the money it raised going to Miracle Children's Network in the Rogue Valley.  The money was raised by offering rides on a tethered balloon for $3.

Another option would be to find out how much the local balloon pilot charges for untethered rides which I'd really prefer anyway.  But I'd still like to attend a rally or festival in which dozens of balloons take to the sky.
