Seemed like BR had them once a year at the fair grounds or flea market in gonzales?
For the record, flea markets are trashy.

The one that was held at Pennington every year for a while was canceled back in 2012, funding issues.
A shame, it was usually a good time.

They just had one this past weekend in Jonesville, La (about 30 minutes from Natchez, MS) Four Rivers Balloon Races is what it was called I believe.

In the fall at lamar Dixon, I went last year and rode in one. Parking is much better and they run it pretty well.
They have a fair as part of it too with rides but it is far enough away where it does not matter

Remember when that guy's balloon deflated and he died? I was working at that festival. The guy tried to ascent too fast and his burner burned a hole in the the balloon. He plummeted to the ground. I remember his balloon being much higher than the rest, then forming in the shape of a mushroom, then falling to the ground.
