Big Skyfest in Billings

Billings, Montana... Big Sky Country.  We've attended an annual event in Billings for four years.  In 2002-2004 it was known as Big Skyfest, and about 30 balloons were in attendance for the three day event.  In 2005 it changed, was renamed Magic City Balloon Festival, and drew only about 10 balloons.  Flying in Billings has always been lots of fun.  There is lots of agricultural land available for landing (after the harvest, that is).
