The Suncook Valley Rotary Club 35th Annual Hot Air Balloon Rally kicked off its first night of events Friday at Drake Field in Pittsfield. Hot Air Balloon pilots from all over gathered in the middle of the field to display their balloons. Unfortunately the balloons were not able to take flight due to weather, but they did still inflate and put on a beautiful glow show after sunset. The festival will continue on Saturday and Sunday starting at 5:30 p.m.
