Friday balloon launch a no go – try again Saturday morning

COSHOCTON A low ceiling prevented the Friday night launch of the hot air balloons. Balloon pilots and chase crews will meet at the fairgrounds at 6 a.m. on Saturday morning to get an update to see if weather conditions are right for the Saturday morning flight. The Railers performed at the grand stand to the delight of fans. The group was just signed by Warner Brothers. More entertainment will be provided on Saturday and Sunday of the festival. The 32^nd annual Hot Air Balloon Festival is sponsored by Frontier Power. Balloons are sponsored by local businesses and organizations. Several members of The Railers are pictured.
