MEDICINE HAT, AB – When most people in southeastern Alberta think of Arizona it’s as a vacation or winter home destination.

Pretty soon locals will think of Arizona as the place the Rise Up Hot Air Balloon Festival started when organizer Willy Taillon flew his first hot air balloon ride.

Taillon joined Dan Reynish on CHAT News at Noon to talk about Rise Up at the end of this month at Co-op Place, why people love to see balloons in the sky and some of the tricks of the trade for a hot air balloon pilot.
