GONZALES, LA (WAFB) -
Keep an eye
on the skies this weekend for the Louisiana Hot Air Balloon Championship Festival.
The
three-day festival lifts off Friday from the Lamar Dixon Expo Center in
Gonzales.
Forty
balloonists will compete for the top prizes.
Also floating
around will be three shaped balloons, including a 10-story tall bald
eagle.
While
organizers and pilots are excited about the event, they are also excited about
the attention the festival will bring to Ascension Parish.
"The growth
is unbelievable," said pilot Robert Ambeau. "It has a lot to offer right here
between two major cities, Baton Rouge and NOLA. So, a lot of travel comes in
between. So, when they go out of town and want to see more of the country side,
they go to a place like Gonzales and find what activities, festivals are going
on."
The balloon
festival is free and open to the public.
