Be sure to look up in Quechee, Vermont, where the sky is dotted with colorful hot air balloons. In this season 3 segment of Weekends with Yankee (episode 310), we visit the annual Quechee Hot Air Balloon, Craft and Music Festival. For those with a fear of heights, the festival hosts a variety of grounded activities as well, but if you’re willing to fly high, there is no better view of the beautiful Vermont countryside.
