Musical interlude take two

What do you do when you get stuck with an abandoned airbase that was devestated by Mt Pinatubo?
You hold a Hot Air Balloon Festival...
and make Clark into an investment zone.
This year's Hot Air Balloon Festival is scheduled from Feb 11-14...
And yes, they sponsor camping and eco tourism from there...

one is reminded of the Mark Steyn quip:
The other day an internet wag, Glenn Crawford, deftly summed up the different cultural approaches to unpromising climate, in this instance between the Afghan plain and Nevada. Third World solution: eke a living out of the desert. American solution: 'Viva Las Vegas!'
