David Reed of Kansas City, Kansas, center, adjusts his hot air balloon with his son Logan and crew members Evelyn King and Cecil Goldsmith of Wichita, Kansas, assist in the early stages of Saturday’s competition at the Oklahoma Festival of Ballooning at Hatbox Field. Reed, however, did not get his balloon in the air because it was too windy, but he enjoyed himself anyway.
