Both days will feature a hot air balloon launch and rides in tethered balloons starting at 7 a.m.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">A 97-foot-tall balloon featuring Smokey Bear will take to the skies with several other colorful participants. The diameter at the hat brim is 72 feet. The balloon weight is 1,130 pounds.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The Smokey Bear balloon is owned by a nonprofit entity dedicated to promoting wildfire prevention education. Fourteen wildland firefighters from the Upper Colorado Interagency Fire Management Unit will provide balloon support. Many of them were involved in fighting last summer\u2019s Lake Christine Fire.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">The event also includes a 5K run in tribute to Jim Calaway, a philanthropist who died this year. Proceeds will go to the Calaway-Young Cancer Center.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">There also will be a free kids zone, music, pancake breakfasts and golf in the park.<\/p>\n<p class=\"STND-STND BodyText\">For the full schedule, go to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.crownmtn.org\" rel=\"nofollow\">http:\/\/www.crownmtn.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.aspentimes.com\/news\/local\/crown-mountain-park-will-host-summerfest-on-saturday\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: The Aspen Times<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hot air balloons prepare for a launch at Crown Mountain Park in 2017.Scott CondonThe Aspen Times Crown Mountain Park will host the 2019 Summerfest Balloon Bash on Saturday and Sunday.
