24th Annual Pittsfield Balloon Rally AUG 5-7

This weekend, starting Friday 08/05 is a great event right in our backyard of Pittsfield. For more information, visit the Pittsfield Hot Air Balloon Rally website. We also have our slalom double-header waterski tournament on private pond in downtown Kingston. Come by and see Kate & I, along with many friends, tear up the slalom course Saturday and Sunday morning (9am to Noon).

Four Balloon Launches will be taking place throughout the weekend, but be sure not to miss the 5:30a launch Saturday or Sunday morning. If the weather is just right, like last year you'll get to see the balloons dunk their baskets in the morning fog. A sight that shouldn't be missed, unless you have a 8:00a waterski tournament start time, I don't know, can we do it babe??? There will be DONUTS!!!

And just when you think you've seen it all, the Night "GLOW" Inflation Spectacular occurs at 8:30pm. Certainly the best time to grab some great fair food, like a sausage sandwich, fresh cut fries and a ice cream cone, YUMMY YUMMY!!!

To top off a great weekend, Pittsfield really puts some money into a marvelous fireworks display. Quite impressive, one of the best displays I've seen in NH, even better than Wednesday Night's at Hampton Beach.

Be sure to bring your cameras, some great photo opportunities!!!Got plenty of photos to share if you're interested, JUST DROP ME A COMMENT.
