It was fantastic. !!
They actually needed about 6 volunteers for each balloon and about 15 balloons were inflated.
I volunteered and we rolled out the balloon onto the polo field and helped inflate the balloon. We learned so much from the pilot. Then after the balloon was straight up we walked around the field and took pictures of all the other balloons and then came back and helped take the balloon down, open all the air flaps, get rid of the air, roll it up tightly into a bag and get it back on the truck. It was an assembly line of fun and exciting people. We talked to many people in the stands that absolutely loved it.
You just had to be PATiENT and wait for them to begin. Many people left early and missed everything
