Not a hot air balloon, but a gas balloon prepares for liftoff
at the Lagoon.
Likely, it's preparation for this big Latonia
racetrack event.
Additional Gas Balloon preparations
I'm unclear if this is the same gas balloon as above.
This image is known to be
in the Cincinnati area, but may or may not be Ludlow.
What the Lagoon looked like from 1909, from a gas balloon.

On July 18, 1896, the Cincinnati weekly Chic, noted that the beaches of the Lagoon were a delightful luxury, "a full acre in extent," and "built of sand and gravel upon a timber foundation." If you didn't have your own, "Suits for gentlemen and ladies may be had for a reasonable price." And how was the water? "Simply perfect." |
