The last time we went to a Special Shapes Rodeo, we got there around 6:00 p.m. The fireworks started shortly after dark. We headed for the park and ride bus just before they ended and were back at our car (at the Cliff's park and ride) by around 9:30 or 9:45.

Great info on the balloon fiesta. One more question: has anyone bought the special passes that give you a separate area and separate parking? (called Gondola Club). Is it worth the extra money?($100 per person includes:
* Prime location for viewing hot air balloon launch
* Special parking area away from the general public
* Buffet meal including appetizers, entree and dessert
* Shuttles available to take guests to Main Street
* Private bathrooms
Any feedback at all will help.
Thanks so much.
