Great ballooning conditions let to a successful flight across Centralia on Saturday morning.

With little wind, the Saturday morning flight of Balloon Fest saw the balloons mostly set up on the west side of Centralia and drift to the east or southeast across town before landing.

Foundation Park will open for day two of the Balloon Fest at three Saturday afternoon.   The big events of the day are the Balloon Glow around 7:30 followed by a performance of Josh Gracin around 8:30.  The large craft festival and a wide assortment of food vendors will also be on hand.

Admission is $5 if you don’t already have a wristband for the weekend.
