2007 REVIEW
2007 saw mass launches on both days, of the event with the weather being very much on our side. Over 45,000 people enjoyed a variety of entertainments, music and displays and the very popular ‘Night Glow’ on Sunday night.
Let’s hope the weather is with us once again and 2008 will see big beautiful balloons soaring into the skys above Blackwood.
