After unfolding the Balloon, these dudes run inside and while some guy props it up with a stick, other people come in with torches and start filling it up with Hot Air. The Women in the foreground light the votive candles that will eventually be attached to the sides of balloon in a decorative pattern.

Balloon Fest Crash!
An ill timed gust of wind can spell instant Disaster by causing the craft to come crashing down in Flames into the Crowd.
Worse even is the entire Payload of explosive Fireworks blasting full force into the spectators.
Most years claim a Life, the Deadliest 2001 claimed Seven.
Dangerous, but it's a Blast!
