Page "Bluegrass Balloon Festival" Paragraph 10

By 2003, the festival had grown to 100 registered balloons, with more than $ 40, 000 in prizes awarded.

There was also six hours of live TV coverage, and more than 120, 000 people attended the event over three days.

Portions of the parking fees benefited the Crusade for Children, and additional funds were raised for the Louisville Zoo and several other local non-profit groups.
