ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – The green flag was raised Friday for the Special Shape Rodeo.
Balloon Fiesta weather officials say wind is very light near the surface area Friday, which means that it’s good balloon flying weather. Officials also say balloons will stay within the city since winds are very calm.
