In spite of steady rain and swampy conditions under foot, well over a hundred people had gathered at Great Falls Balloon Festival Friday evening in Lewiston, taking in the entertainment and waiting for the arrival of the balloons. The news that the balloons had been grounded was disappointing, but the crowds didn’t disperse. There was still plenty of entertainment to be had. Festival goers eagerly checked their weather forecasts and surmised that Saturday and Sunday had better chances of decent weather.
