The Second Annual Winnemucca Balloon Festival was held last weekend at the sports complex and hundreds of community members turned out to see the four free-flying balloons take off from the field and take rides on the one tethered balloon. Event organizer Jeremy Crosby said that Saturday attendance was between 300 and 350 and Sunday there were close to 200 people. Over 15 vendors were set up around the field selling coffee, snacks, souvenirs, and drinks. Crosby said that the event was such a success that next year he is expanding it to three days.
