Great Reno Balloon Race: Event Schedule for 2006 September 8, 2006

Modeled after the English sport of freeing a rabbit, giving it a head-start and then unleashing a pack of canines to hunt it down, the balloon sport is considerably less dire for the hare. Having two balloons act as the hares is wonderfully representative of how different the two similarly-named sports are. In this instance, the hounds are the 100 or so balloons and the hares are two balloons sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank.
