Come join fellow PSNWA members for an afternoon and evening at the Arkansas Hot Air Ballon State Championships in Harrison, AR.  Lots of events will be going on that day starting in the morning through the evenings hours.  Plan to come over and be there around 3:30 p.m.  There will be a Balloon Glow between 4-5 p.m..  This glow will be daytime shots and you will not capture much of the actual glow.  But will be a good time to figure out where we will want to be for the evening glow.  About 6:30 p.m. we will gather and go over a few techniques and then head to setup for the evening glow between 7-8 p.m.  Sunset is at 7:48 p.m. this evening so depending on the weather we can hopefully get some neat shots.

This unique outdoor event that began in 1995 is held in beautiful Harrison, Arkansas.  For a complete list of events that begin on Friday evening and run through Sunday visit https://www.exploreharrison.com/pages/attractions/arkansas-hot-air-balloon-state-championship/schedule-of-events/.

Parking is available in the Airport Field.  Cost is $5 to park.  The event itself is free to attend.

It has been so long since we have seen each other! Join a virtual chat over coffee or your favorite beverage, all from the comfort of your own home. Using Zoho Meeting, we’ll enjoy a relaxed conversation about photography and up coming events being planned by PSNWA.
