It's the Balloon Rally

 

Balloon Rise Over Gunnison

 The Annual Independence Day Balloon Rally, sponsored by the Trough Restaurant, got underway on Monday, July 2nd and will continue through the 4th. 
Balloonists from all over the west have gathered and launch their colorful balloons early (very early!!) each morning from Jorgensen Park.    
Then, the balloons follow the prevailing winds.  They may land in the street or in an empty lot by your house!  Have your camera ready. 
Many of the balloon pilots come to Gunnison every 4th of July to participate in this fun event. 

Over the house!

Get out early and watch this annual colorful event.
