Mike Kasper Cam: Spirit Of Boise Balloon Classic [Video & Pics]

One of the coolest events in Boise is the Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic, presented by CapEd Credit Union and Mix 106. The free event takes place every year over Labor Day weekend, and provides days of fun for the entire family. Here's everything you need or want to know! Plus, watch what it's like to be up in a Spirit of Boise balloon!

I want to thank the crew of the Belle Star out of Utah for taking me up. Kent Barnes is an awesome pilot...this is my second ride in a balloon during the balloon classic and I love that this year Kent took me over downtown Boise and the State Capital. Check out all the photos below.

This unique Boise event is just one reason we live in one of the best cities in America and if you've never been a part of this great event you and your family don't want to miss it.
