Despite uncertain weather with high winds, organizers gave the go-ahead for 12 balloons to light up, creating massive, glowing orbs high into the night sky.

The Canadian Hot Air Balloon Championships take place in High River this weekend. The winner will get the opportunity to compete at the World Championships being held in Brazil in 2014.
