HENRICO COUNTY, Va. —Thousands of people flocked to Meadow Farm in Glen Allen May 10 for the inaugural Henrico SkyGlow event to take tethered hot-air balloon rides and watch as a series of 10 tethered balloons lighted up the night sky in sync with music. The event also included vendors and a kids’ zone.

Interest in the event swelled to such a level that traffic around the park was stalled for several hours, and many people were turned away because the park was at capacity. A number complained on social media that they had spent an hour or longer waiting in traffic before eventually giving up or being turned away at the entrance.
