John McCormack - On my bucket list is to one day get to the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta - what fun!
Hi John - It's been years - well, actually decades now - since I've been down for the baloon festival. I do hope to get back there some day - it's a great time to visit.
John, this would be such a great event to attend and a great time of the year to do so. On my list of things to do before the bucket kicks me!
Hi John... I know this balloon festival is very famous. As someone who can't quite take amusement park rides I'm not sure how I'd do in a balloon. I hear they can really "move" you around. It's not the heights that bother me, it's the movement. (I also don't go on boats!). But I'm game to try one day.
We have never managed to be there at the exact time. We're going to be about a month late this year for our "out west" family vacation.
John- I hope to go some day. We tried to go to a small one in Houston but the weather wouldn't permit. Hope that you and Debbie go and take lots of pics.
Good Wednesday evening John. I will have to pass for this year as I have a prior engagement in FL that week. I hear that it is fun.
That indeed is an event I hope to attend one of these years. The timing is perfect when it cools down here too. Hope you are having a good week
Good evening John. I always thought the Balloon festival would be great fun.
I have always wanted to come out to see this but not sure if those dates are going to work for me this year its been a bit hectic lol
There are several balloon festivals around the country. But, I always think of Albuquerque as having the best.
It would be hard to imagine a better photo opportunity than the Albuquerque Balloon Festival. The colors and the movement will be striking. What great memories for those who are able to attend.
Every few years I get some of my biker buddies together, and we'll take a ride over that way and enjoy the action for a few days. One of the best Balloon shows in the country... bar none.
This is a famous event, John. I keep telling myself I have to get down there for it. I don't know if this is going to be the year, though.
Good morning John. I have seen videos of this event, really something and can well imagine what it must be like in person.
The Balloon Festival looks like an event that should not be missed. Loved the video.
Hi John. That looks like so much fun. I didn't remember that it was the largest in the world.
I always enjoy your video of this event John. What an absolutely great time to be had by all!
John, I will be back sometime...I heartedly recommend this trip as a MUST DO!!
John, bet Ginny was smiling too when she read your post! Only fond memories of the event and spending quality time with you both!
John, we went to Balloon Fiesta in 2013 and had a great time!
The balloon festival always looks it would be one of those super unique unforgettable experiences.
John, the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta has always looked like so much fun to me. Your videos and pictures are amazing!
WE have heard so much about this eveet..wishing sunny skies for making many memories for all those who attend.
Hi John,
I have never seen an air balloon up close and personal. I hope I can get to attend this event in Albuquerque one of these days.
Thanks for the video. It is full of LIFE.
Hi Debbie and John -- Albuquerque will be on colorful display in October for the 2015 Balloon Festival. Nice reminder for this always popular event.
John/Debbie, this was an experience everyone should be able to see at least once, it was fabulous!
Hello John,
What a fun event - if I were closer, I would already have my ticket. I hope that you and Debbie are able to attend and enjoy!
Good morning John McCormack ,
The Albuquerques Ballon Festival is a spectualr event..my how it has grown since I was there visitng my folks!! Enjoy the event..its someting that only comes around once each year in the Q!
Oh how I wish I could be there! A bit of a distance to travel though. LOL
John: This will no doubt be another great event with plenty of fantastic balloons and an abundance of spectators.
I would love to see the balloons. We will be watching for your blogs and your photographs.
I have seen a balloon festival with a lot smaller scale, meaning only 6 or so going up. But what an amazing sight it is to see them flat on the ground and then the inflation process begins. It is amazing!
John
Attending the Albuquerque Balloon Festival . . . . will be a great experience.
Good luck and success.
Lou Ludwig
I would love to do that one day John. When I do I will look you and Debbie up so we can have a little meetup.
I wish I could be there John what a fun time.
Hi John McCormack , I will be looking forward to your photos of this great event. One day, I will make it there. It is still on my bucket list.
Good morning John - that Albuquerque balloon fiesta looks like a very fun event! We have a similar one here in NJ.
John McCormack
I would love to see this someday. I've so much about it from friends who have been, and have seen lots of photos and video (including yours!). Some day!!
Look forward to you sharing all the fun and festivities, and balloons!
Jeff
John, I always look forward to your photo's and video of the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.
Hello everyone. It's great to see everyone and a big thank you for taking time to check out the upcoming 2015 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta.
It's a big event and is planned year round and it's beginning to pick up some real buzz around here now. If you're planning on coming get those reservations made for your stay early. Earlier is better.
Thank you for watching the YouTube we put together. We hope you enjoyed and it will motivate you to check out the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta for yourself.
The balloon festival in the Q is one of the most beautiful, colorful and exciting things that the city offers! Definitely make a visit to John McCormack Town!
Hi John McCormack , I have seen video specials on your festival. All the ones I've seen wouldn't light a candle or a balloon glow to yours. It would be a great festival to see.
John - that is quite a unique event. I love all of those colored balloons. I am sure it will be crowded.
John,
That sounds like fun...we are going to be in Denver for Ron's sister's b'day. A
How visually spectacular, John! I am a big fan of primary colors and joy and being free and all of these are encompassed in this fiesta--a perfect word for this event.
HOw many people attend? There are parts of your video that you could use as posters with inspirational sayings on them. I just loved it. Thank you!
This is such a beautiful event every year, John. I'm just going to have to come out and see it sometime soon.
I met a couple today looking to selll their home, buy a motorhome and travel the country, one of their destinations was ABQ. Maybe i should join them. Have a good day
