Some festivals around the country (and world) include hot air balloon “glows” where they inflate hot air balloons at night that glow when they blast the heaters. And often these shows are followed the next day by a hot air balloon race (of sorts) but neither can occur if the wind is too strong, but I can’t remember what that air speed limitation is.
This weekend these events are occuring as a part of the Kentucky Derby Festival and am trying to make plans for my little nieces.

When someone flies in a hot air balloon, do they know where they are going to land? How do they manage to guide the balloon to the right place?

My daughter is doing her Missouri History Project (4th grade) and she has to make a hot air balloon that is authentic to the time.
did they have a wooden basket, were they perfectly round or round at the top with a bigger opening for the fire, etc.
