The Thurston Classic in Meadville, PA shows off hot air balloons. That night introduced the balloons along with lighting them up to the music. Songs included "Happy", "Burning Love", and "Born in the USA".

Unfortunately, that weekend was a bust. Even though it had great spectator weather, the wind canceled further events.

Presque Isle State Park on this last week of April. The trees still haven't bloomed yet; however, the buds are popping out slowly.
