Balloon Race pilots inflate their balloons with hot air before launching off at the Great Reno Balloon Races at Rancho San Rafael Park in Reno. Starting in 1982, the Balloon Races is an annual event that draws nearly 200,000 people from all over the region, and is one of the largest balloon rallies in the United States. In recent years, a pre-flight, known as Dawn Patrol has been a major hit. In 1978, Federal Aviation officials approved a very strict set of standards for pilots to follow. This meant that pilots must fly within an hour of sunrise, and also use special navigation lights when flying. The Dawn Patrol at The Great Reno Balloon Race is a huge success, and can even be seen as an example for what pre-dawn events should be like. Also, throughout the years, as the event has been getting larger, more events are tacked on the agenda, including the tissue paper balloon launch (done by local elementary students), the community launch, balloon blackjack, etc. Also, because the event has drawn enormous crowds, the Great Reno Balloon Race has gotten media attention from CNN, Good Morning America, The History Channel Magazine, etc.

This was another assignment for my art class. We had to draw three paper airplanes. I wanted to make the assignment more fun so I drew on the pieces of paper with different colored pens before I asked my dad to make them into airplanes. I can't fold paper.

Hiroshima-born Sadako is lively and athletic--the star of her school's running team. And then the dizzy spells start. Soon gravely ill with leukemia, the "atom bomb disease," Sadako faces her future with spirit and bravery. Recalling a Japanese legend, Sadako sets to work folding paper cranes. For the legend holds that if a sick person folds one thousand cranes, the gods will grant her wish and make her healthy again. Based on a true story, Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes celebrates the extraordinary courage that made one young woman a heroine in Japan.
