Once again it’s time for the fantastic Walla Walla Balloon Stampede. We have 37 balloons in town this year and look forward to an awesome weekend. While the winds were a bit too brisk for for most to chance a Friday morning launch, we had a very few brave pilots take to the skies. There will be more opportunities to see the balloons in action Saturday at the 6:30am launch, inflated and tethered from Noon – 4pm @ Garrison School (next to the fairgrounds)and again at the spectacular Night Glow (fairgrounds grandstands) beginning @ 7pm. Balloons are scheduled to launch again Sunday morning. In addition to the balloons, there’s lots to see and do with many vendors displaying their products, a classic car show, a variety of bands, activities for the kids and morning pancake breakfast. The weather forecast looks great and there’s no charge for admission! Don’t miss a great opportunity to visit the Balloon Stampede, sample our premium local wines and shop the unique variety of local businesses. Also, don’t forget mortgage rates are at the lowest levels seen in over 40 years! The time to refinance your current mortgage is NOW. If you’re considering the purchase of your first home you’ll benefit not only from the low interest rates but the $8,000 tax credit as well. Buy your new home, amend your 2008 taxes and get your $8,000 this year courtesy of Uncle Sam! See you at the Stampede!
