First time going to a one of these festivals...this one was decent. There were about 8 of the balloons, some carnival rides, a couple food vendors.

Its a little bit more then a balloon festival, this group ^ so will take you back to the mideval times and more with live demonstrations, booths of information and their own blacksmith.

Pretty typical fair setup with the vendors, rides and amenities you'd expect. There's a paved loop around the whole event if you have a stroller or wheelchair. Balloons are very cool to see but the cost to ride is exclusionary...

They are sold by individual vendors I believe. You would have to contact the Balloon Fest organizers. You can probably get info on who to contact from the city clerks office.
