October 16th, 2010 - Field Trip: Shenandoah Valley Hot Air Balloon, Wine & Music Festival

The 14th anniversary of the Shenandoah Valley Hot Air Balloon, Wine & Music Festival is held on October 15-17 on the spacious lawns and fields of Long Branch in Clark County, VA. The festival brings balloonist and their colorful airborne craft from far and wide. In addition to the balloons, the festival provides a wide variety of entertainment over the weekend, such as lawnmower races, parades, classic car shows and monster truck rides. Please know that the balloons fly in whether permitting and there are no refunds.

We will meet at 5:15am in the first parking at Vienna Metro and head out in carpools at 5:30am. This is the first parking lot on the right from Nutley Street (the 66 East bound side). Please be ready to go by 5:30am.

The 9:00am carpool at Vienna Metro is canceled because most people who signed up want to capture the sunrise launch.
