Mark
your calendar to be in Winthrop March 7-9, 2008 for what
is quite possibly the most colorful event in North Central
Washington.
The
skies of Winthrop and the Methow Valley will brighten
with the brilliant colors of over a dozen hot air balloons
in the Winthrop Balloon Roundup.
Look
for these magnificent giants in a snow-covered field by
the river, just behind The Winthrop Inn. Weather
permitting, the balloons will fly Friday, Saturday and
Sunday mornings.
The
Balloon Roundup is a spectacular photographic opportunity,
offering a unique and exciting experience for all.
There's the chance to meet the pilots and crews, to learn
how these air ships actually fly and to see the balloons
up close. For those wishing to go aloft, balloon
rides are available by reservation (please contact Morning
Glory Balloon Tours at 509 997 1700.)
