Balloons Fill Albuquerque Sky in 2nd Day of Annual Fiesta

Associated Press

   ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO - Hundreds of balloons have filled the sky over
   Albuquerque in the city's annual International Balloon Fiesta.

   Event officials sent up the green flag just before 6:30 a.m. Sunday,
   giving the all clear for the mass ascension.

   Balloons were mostly tethered to the ground Saturday because of fog and
   that mass ascension was canceled.
