In the new animated film "Up," a balloon salesman ties 1,000 helium-filled balloons to his house in search of adventure.
The plot inspired the country's ballooning capital, Albuquerque, N.M., to offer a high flying adventure of its own: a trip for two to the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, the world's largest hot air ballooning event, Oct. 3-11.
More than 600 hot air balloons of all shapes and sizes take part in the annual festival, now in its 38th year.
The Albuquerque Convention and Visitors Bureau is sponsoring the sweepstakes, where the prize includes two nights at Nativo Lodge (Oct. 5-7), admission to the fiesta, a balloon ride for two with Rainbow Ryders, a $200 Visa card you can use toward transportation costs, admission to the Anderson-Abruzzo Albuquerque International Balloon Museum and a Flip camera to video your trip.
Go to itsatrip.org/balloonfiesta to enter the contest. For details about this year's festival, go to balloonfi esta.com. Information about Albuquerque can be found at itsatrip.org.
