I recently was on a business trip in Arkansas and had to find something to do on a weekend. Turned out, there's an annual Hot Air Balloon Festival in Bentonville (or perhaps Fayetteville, or Rogers, they are all close together), Arkansas. The event took place at a small local airport. I was not sure what time the event would start and showed up around 3 pm or so... turned out balloons were not going to fly until much later and thus I was stuck there for a few hours. Walked around and took pictures of small airplanes. There wasn't anything else to do there... The event itself was pretty cool. That was the first time I watched hot air balloons live! Very colorful spectacle! Perhaps I should try it one day, although it appears the fun-to-effort ratio is not that great.
