Hot Air Balloon Event Flies High Again in the Quad Cities
The Quad City Balloon Festival is
scheduled for September 22,23,24,2012. It
is being held in the field on the west edge of the Jewel\Osco location on Ave
of the Cities and Kennedy Drive in East Moline. Admission and parking is Free
to the general public.
Food vendors, activities for the
kids, and sponsor displays will be available. Each evening after flying, the
balloons will return to the launch field and participate in a "night
glow". The balloons light up like a low-wattage light bulb in the night
sky. 
Spectators can view the sights up close as they visit with the individual
pilots.

sundown and glow on the field after dark.
