Taio Cruz, Owl City, and Charles Aznavour set the soundtrack for nine days of hot-air balloons, family activities, and music
When the Montgolfier brothers invented the hot-air balloon in 1783, they hoped to match the bird’s ability to travel by flight and roast marshmallows 3,000 feet above ground. Admire man-made fowl with this deal.
