KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Extreme heat and high winds put a damper on Kansas City's Great Balloon and Puppet Glow. The event was set up on the lawn at the National World War I Museum and Memorial. At around 9:30 p.m. on Saturday, event organizers pulled the plug on the hot air balloon portion of the event. Winds were consistent throughout the day and never got to speeds low enough where the pilots were comfortable to launch the balloons. The balloons were set to be tethered to the ground, but even with that precaution, the wind speeds were still too high.
