            [June 17, 2013]      Send a link to a friend 
			Long before the scheduled starting time of 6 
			p.m., teams were gathering at their tents, taking time to visit with 
			each other and renew friendships with relay walkers from past years. 
			The night was perfect -- a little sun, a little 
			breeze and comfortable temperatures. In the background of the 
			relay area, several balloonists were getting ready for an evening 
			flight. The sight of the brightly colored globes just added to 
			the already high spirits in the crowd.
