I just thought I'd mention this as it is a pretty cool event. This weekend in Morgantown, WV there will be the somethingth annual hot air balloon festival. Been going on quite a few years now and draws quite a crowd and a lot of ballons, like 20-50 I don't know, haven't been in a while. It features a "night glow" this Thursday night where they all raise after dark for a truly spectacular sight, then ballooning all weekend. If anyone is interested, I'll look into the schedule and reply to you, makes a pretty interesting weekend and there is some OK camping about. Morgantown is about 3.5-4 hours Bus time from DC, 1.5 hours from Pittsburg, etc. You can just wonder around looking at the baloons, pay for rides, etc. Hell if a few people are interested in coming, I might organize a picnic on Saturday.
