August 17-19 The 20th Great Falls Balloon Festival
August 17, 2012
20th Great Falls Balloon Festival-Lewiston-Auburn. During each hot air balloon launch, the Androscoggin Land
Trust will join other paddlers to head out on the Androscoggin River. The group will meet at 5 AM and 5 PM on
Saturday and Sunday and 5 pm Friday at Little Andy Park on 2nd St in Auburn. Coined the
"Great Falls Paddling Society," we hope to see many out there enjoying the unique view of Lewiston-Auburn's
industrial heritage from the river as balloons launch overhead.
