Hot air balloons airships Pioneer Valley bright and colorful balloons.

The annual XLTA event out of Amherst is taking place this weekend. With participants from around the country.
Colorful balloons took off at 6 a.m . dotting the Pioneer Valley with their glorious colors!
The balloons and airship are homemade and experimental.
A beautiful day greeted them bright and early!
Successful takeoffs were enjoyed, and soon they were soaring along effortlessly.
What a wonderful experience!
