Oh Dan, you should go out to dawn patrol. It's at 5 am ish, but it's pretty cool. They fill and launch the balloons in the dark approaching dawn. It's cool because they light up in the night sky. I think it's worth seeing just once. I have a co-worker up in Reno that lives right down the street from the park and she usually does a bloody mary party in conjunction with dawn patrol. Nothing like starting the day right and getting wasted at dawn.
