Can you think of anything more magical than a hot air balloon? Just the mere sight of a hot air balloon – floating high above us – can make us feel like a kid again. But, only one thing might be able to rival the magic of a hot air balloon – a hot air balloon glow. Admire the sheer beauty of 20 colorful hot air balloons aglow against the nighttime sky at this hot air balloon glow in Pennsylvania.
Start counting down the days — and there are only a few! — to the 13th Annual Chester County Balloon Festival in Toughkenamon.
