As mentioned before, the 9th annual Gulf Coast Balloon Fest is happening in Foley June 13-15. There was a competition to see which balloonist could maneuver his/her craft to drop a weight on a target. Here is some of the action:

Balloons fly when the air is still.
That means early morning (Yawn) or late afternoon. |

The first balloon makes for the target
This one came down well off target.
These two also missed.
It was quite a sight
The target is the white cross on the ground between the
orange and Remax balloons.
Overhead! This one came very close!
Filling an envelope w/ a fan so the crowd could get a good look.
One of the balloonists decorated the chase vehicle.
