Cherie and I are leaving early tomorrow for Letchworth State Park in Portageville, NY. The first flight of the event is scheduled for friday evening. Both morning and evening flights are scheduled for the rest of the weekend. If you are coming get up early. The flights start at sunrise. Evening flights are about an hour before sunset. This is a terrific balloon event held in a beautiful state park. :)

I spoke to Skip this morning.He was in PA and hadn't got there yet.I am going to be there on Sat.Anyone that can make this event won't be disappointed.I found in the past that things change positively once you met a person from here face on face.So if you could come and help represent it would be very cool.

BTW-the weather is forecast to be fantastic.



ROAD TRIP!!!!! :guitar: :guitar: :supz: :supz:

Bottom line is to me the main attraction is to once again meet and spend time with Skip and his wife Sherie.I my whole life of 65 yrs I have never met nicer people.Just the best.
