Provo has the tradition of flying hot air balloons July 3-5. This year there were about
23. The pilots participate in various contests, such as attempting to pop helium balloons with large sticks while flying,
as well as throwing sandbags at a large target on the ground. Most of these pictures need no explanation; they're just aesthetically
pleasing. Enjoy!
