Weather conditions had been perfect until yesterday at 7 a. m. Winds blowing directly toward the Fresno Airport contributed to the

Si*?
Despite the cancellation of Monday's race be¬
cause of errant winds, the California International
Balloon Festival held this weekend at Fresno State
was deemed a success.
Over 70 different balloons raced in the three-day
event to benefit Valley Children's Hospital.
The balloonlsts participated in a "Hare and
Hound" race.
Each morning at 6:45. a single balloon would
take off from the starting area Just west of the
Peters building and drift away from campus.
When the "hare" balloon landed, the pilot would
get out and draw an X on the ground.
The rest of the field, the "hounds", then took off 7
a.m. and headed for the X.
When they reached It the pilot would try to drop
a bean bag on It from the air.
It was well worth the effort for the competitors.
The Valley Children's Hospital Foundation offered
over $10,000 In prizes to to the top three finishers.
Including a solid-gold ring.
The balloons landed Saturday in a grassy field
just south of Woodward Park, backing up along.
