THE 2010s: 2010-2019 When people think oWhen people think off B Baalloon Glolloon Glowwss,, they generally expect them to be held in 22001010the evenings. But in 2010, the Balloon Fiesta decided to try something new: a Morning Glow, sponsored by Krispy Kreme. The morning glow balloons infl ate shortly after Dawn Patrol. But instead of fl ying away like the Dawn Patrol does, the morning glow balloons remain on the fi eld for guests’ enjoyment during the lull between the Dawn Patrol’s departure and the beginning of balloon infl ations for the mass ascensions. Sadly, 2010 was founder Sid Cutter’s last Balloon Fiesta. As always, he was cheerful and actively involved in the event, but he had been battling cancer for some time and did not live to see the Balloon Fiesta’s 40th year. The disappearance of Richard Abruzzo and Carol Rymer Davis, while fl ying in the Gordon Bennett in Europe, also cast a shadow over an otherwise joyous event. ® 234 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
