The Great Reno Balloon Race is fast approaching. I love taking the kids to this event early in the morning so they can see the balloons light up. Bring blankets, Hot cocoa and cuddle up for an extraordinary view. 
The 34th annual Great Reno Balloon Race attracts nearly 100 balloons are expected including 16 special shapes. Activities include a Glow Show and Dawn Patrol which are an amazing pre-dawn spectacle as balloons twinkle against the dark sky. During the beautiful mass ascension, the skies fill with colorful balloons. We get a little extra excited for the Special-shaped balloons, I hear some will be making their first appearance at the festival this year. On Friday, is the SUPER-GLOW show featuring glowing balloons choreographed to music. Balloon Boulevard will feature a variety of food, crafts, art and souvenirs and is expected to double in size of vendors!
