Director Tim Crooks remarked the crowds were quite possibly the largest ever for the event.
âIt was wonderful, really wonderful. Iâm really happy,â Crooks said. âI can tell you that our Friday crowd was our biggest ever.â
It is estimated that the two days of the event brought in at least 25,000 people; final estimates have yet to be tallied.
That came after Balloons Aloft had to scrap the Friday morning media flight that kicks off the event each year.
Saturday night saw numerous people turn out with many of the food vendors having wait times of 15-20 minutes because the crowd was so large.
