The festival invited the weekend crowd to come out for competitive races, tethered balloon rides in the afternoon, a costume parade, pumpkin carving, hay rides and a special Saturday night concert as well as lots to eat from food vendors, carnival sweets and a bake sale.
James Baker from Auburn in neighboring Barrow County said he enjoyed the high flying hot air ride so much he took off into the morning blue sky twice, Saturday and Sunday.
"It was a lot of fun," Baker said. "It was kind of scary but once you take off you never think about it again and I was so excited I had to do it again today."
