University Toyota's "Mountaineer Balloons Festival" involved around 40 hot air balloons traveling around Morgantown, often flying above the University campus as seen here.The Festival lasted for until at least 2007, then was put on hiatus due to the loss of festival grounds. It returned in 2015 as "Balloons Over Morgantown," a simpler version of the event.
