Back in the 80s I won a radio contest.....the prize was a hot air balloon ride.

Being back before the digital age, I did what research I could and ended up canceling.

I’m not comfortable being 100s of feet off the ground and being at the mercy of the winds and this story is a great example.

“the balloon slammed into a building as Sky River Casino was celebrating a groundbreaking for a new hotel.”

Gee, when christening a ship they just break a bottle of champagne.
