The Lighter Than Air Ballon Fair at Iowa Western Community College. Balloons by the Nebraska Balloon Club.
When enough air is in the balloon the burner is lit.
When the air is hot enough it begins to lift the balloon.
The pilot regulates the temperature to keep the baloon upright, but cool enough to stay on the ground.
The other team members help keep things under control.

The local newspaper was one of the sponsors for this event.
The weather was great for photos. There were just enough clouds in the sky for an interesting background.
The crowd continued to grow all evening.
Another team found space to begin.
The Pepsi balloon is structured to look like a giant can of soda.
The Sun began it's descent.
The soda can began to rise.
Once the soda can was aloft, there was room for a couple of other teams get started.
