Thanks for the information, the information that I posted was found on the Albuquerque Festival website, and I guess they just wanted to take the crredit.

Beautiful interpretation of the event! Thank you much.

Not that it matters very much, but the Balloon Glow was “invented” by Dr. Bill Bussey in Longview, Texas at the Great Texas Balloon Race over 30 years ago. It was done at the Longview Mall. The mall still is a major contributor to the event and still sponsors the Balloon Glow.

Albuquerque did not start their own Glow until the mid-80′s.

I participated in the first Glow at the Balloon Fiesta.
