The successful and fun event previously known as the Eden Valley Balloon
Festival has grown in name and scope to become the Ogden Valley Balloon
Festival. This years dates are Friday August 17 to Sunday August 19.
Although there is a small car show on Friday, the main event is the show
Saturday 9am onward in the Huntsville town park just up the street
from one of our clubs favorite watering holes, the Shootin Star Saloon
(Utahs oldest).
The show organizers have promised a placement of our cars in the center
of the park but with guaranteed drive in / out corridors for those who
arrive after 9am or leave before the show officially ends (7pm). Since
the parks trees are around the perimeter, umbrellas or other shade
protection are recommended for those who like to sit by their cars.
The car show will be informal and eclectic, though a good turn out by
the Wasatch Mountain Jaguar Register is expected. This wont be a
judged show, but lots of interest by festival attendees is expected.
The park will also feature art exhibits, craft and food booths,
entertainment on two stages, and a plein air painting competition.
Calm air permitting, the balloons will launch from Wolf Creek resort in
Eden at 7am and be airborne for two to three hours. Another launch is
planned for 6pm, with the added appeal of spectacular views of the
propane burners firing into the colorful balloons.
It all adds up to a fun and relaxed event with a nice drive to and from,
and interesting attractions at the venue. Full details on the festival
are available at http://www.ogdenvalleyballoon-festival.com/.
See you there!
