TRANSPORTATION
Hot air balloons carried a few animals and people aloft in the late 1700s. They evolved into massive, passenger carrying Zeppelins which crossed oceans in the 1900s, but faster airplanes prevailed over them. Colorful hot air balloons have made a comeback, with balloon and passengers propelled by breezes. The first balloon rally here was November 25, 1978.
