Museum hosts balloon rally

The Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum is hosting its eighth annual Loose Goose hot air balloon rally this weekend.

Balloons will begin inflating at dawn and lift off soon after, going wherever the wind takes them. Spectators can watch the action, starting about 6 a.m.

Saturday evening, balloons will rise behind the space museum for a “night glow” event, their burners illuminating the colorful envelopes against the darkening sky.

Admission is free, but T-shirts, wine and beer will be available for purchase. For more information, call 503-434-4185 or visit www.evergreenmuseum.org.
