Balloon Festival

I see that the Gateway Balloon Festival is under way in Claremore.
What has happened to that event ? Back in the day it was really something. I remember when it was held at 41st and 129th E Av. The last time I went it was out at the River Park at 21st.
They used to bring in all kinds of cool and unusual balloons but now it seems to have just become almost nothing to the ballooning enthusiast.

Didn't all that land at 41st and 129th get sold and they had to move? I think people lost track of it. It was as NSU in BA for a while then Riverparks now in Claremore.
