Thousands of spectators were treated to a delightful view from Memorial Park on Saturday morning as nearly 70 hot air balloons dotted the Colorado Springs skies. Thanks to calm weather conditions, the Labor Day Lift Off went without a hitch. The first balloon floated in the air about 7 a.m., and the last one took off an hour later. The balloons traveled miles southward to a landing area, organizers said. "I really like Colorado Springs and the panoramic view," said Hank Hamiston, pilot of Flamebuoyant 2.
