Hot air balloon over Fairfax ?

[Julie & 6pt Dave]

Possibly!!!

Look in the evening, I would say between 6:00pm and 7:00pm this evening.   The basket, along with the pilot will contain the Filiberti clan.

Of course it all depends on the wind.

Pictures to follow.....

Thanks go out to Ken Levesque of U-Ken-Do Ballooning

You are so right about Ken and his wife.  One day a few months ago Julie had to go down to the school to work on props for the play.  She noticed Ken and others over Fairfax so she gave me a call.  I grabbed my camera and headed to the village.  Once in the village I noticed that one of the balloons had landed on the soccer/football field.    I arrived and met Ken and his wife.  I was asked if I waned to help to pack up the balloon -- 'sure why not'.   Then Ken asked if I was interested in buying a raffle ticket to benefit Camp Takumta.   http://www.takumta.org/   Of course I would for the kids.   I REALLY didn't do it to win a ride ( I'm not really good at heights ) but guess who won ??

So hats off to U-Ken-Do Ballooning for donating a ride to benefit Camp Takumta.

We did go and had a great time.  We started in Milton in the park behind the library.  The winds were light and out of the South.  I was hoping for more South West winds which would have taken us more in a Fairfax direction.  As it were we ran almost parallel to route 7 and landed by the historical society in Georgia.  We were in the air for over an hour.

Ken is a great pilot and his crew got us set up and on our way in short order.

I'll try to get a few pics and post them later in the day.
