Hot air balloons and their crews preparing their balloons to fly at a balloon rally featured at the 2012 edition of Seymour, Wisconsin’s Hamburger Festival. The balloon rally has been a part of this annual festival for more than 20 years. This was my first time to attend.

Before I took these photos, several balloons had taken off. More than 20 balloons were at this year’s event, but unfavorable weather conditions kept some from participating.  There was a little more wind then they would have liked the evening we were there. Weather is always a factor in the success of the balloon rally.

To give you a wider view of the balloon rally, I created this panoramic photo.

Balloon Glow 1

Hot Air Balloon, Glow
We went to Seymour, Wisconsin yesterday for their annual Hamburger Festival and Balloon Rally. Just as we were leaving, I spun around to catch this view of hot air balloons firing up the burners to show off their colors.

Seymour lays claim to being the home of the hamburger – invented there in 1885. The festival and balloon rally continue today (August 4th, 2012) if you’re looking for something to do.  There’s no admission charge to the Balloon Rally. Learn more at http://homeofthehamburger.org/.

I’ll be posting more photos of this event in the days to come, so stay tuned.
