With the 102nd annual Windsor Harvest Festival getting ready to launch, so are the nearly 30 hot air balloons, literally. Labor Weekend has been home to the festival for over a century, and the hot air balloons have become one of the event's many staples.

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, nope it's the "No Worries" Hot Air Balloon slowly cruising up, up, and away during the Picture the Sky Balloon Rally. This year's event will take place on Saturday, August 31st, and Sunday, September 1st, at Eastman Park in Windsor, Colorado.

Ever been in a hot air balloon? I've only been once, and it was at this event. While heights aren't really my thing, this was an absolute blast! We know people and have connections, and we want YOU to experience this for yourself. Do you want to go? Here's your shot!

We'll pick three local winners who will be contacted by Friday, August 30th, thanks to our friends at the Windsor Harvest Festival.

The 2024 Windsor Harvest will once again take place over Labor Day weekend, with the Picture in the Sky at Eastman Park kicking it all off. Then later that night the party continues at Boardwalk Park for the "Street Dance" featuring a live concert from Karley Scott Collins, and fireworks.

The fun continues at Main Park on Sunday and Monday with live music and entertainment, food, drinks, rides, and nearly 100 local vendors. And don't forget about the Windsor Harvest Festival Parade that takes place on Labor Day morning at 9 am.

We'll see you Labor Day Weekend at this year's Windsor Harvest Festival, proudly sponsored by your favorite Townsquare of Northern Colorado Radio Stations!
