Looking from the inside out, several people are silhouetted against the hot air balloon Dee III as it inflates just before launching. Hundreds of spectators got their wish early in the morning on Monday, Sept. 7, 2009 in Memorial Park as a near perfect breeze and clear skies made for a mass launch of balloons, on time, for the final day of the 33rd annual Colorado Balloon Classic. Many of the balloons skimmed and dipped Prospect Lake to the roaring cheers of hundreds of people aligning the shore. The first day was cancelled because of weather and Sunday's launch was delayed. The balloon glow was cancelled on Sunday night because of weather. Bryan Oller, The Gazette
