Slideshow: Thursday prize grab competition
Record breaking Fiesta lift-offs in a row
ALBUQUERQUE (KRQE) - With five poles on the field and five envelops attached each containing $2000, competition was tough.
Winds picked up on the field as the Special Shapes departed with estimated gusts of up to 8kts.
Only one balloonist was successful in grabbing the prized envelop while another knocked over a pole dropping their envelope.
Others came close, but only one today was a winner of the prize grab.
