Northampton
Balloon Festival Picnic
From
'WhatsonWhen.com'
The Northampton sky fills with
colour as more than 90 hot air balloons, propelled by ten tons of
propane gas, take to the air for the Balloon Festival.
In 2002 the event welcomes the Virgin Airship and Balloon Company, who
bring ten special balloons to delight the thousands who gather to
watch the action.
In the past, special shapes have included the Tesco trolley, the RAC's
flying van, Lloyds TSB's giant sign and the seductively cool-looking
Budweiser can, as well as the Benadryl balloon (the giant orange and
navy teardrop that made its debut at the London Marathon this year),
not forgetting the 120-foot AXA FA Cup balloon. Look out for more fun
shapes over the long summer weekend.
