Here are your instructions for when you get your lantern at the upcoming Lantern
Festival. First, when you get your lantern, take a marker and write down your hopes, dreams, wishes,
proclamations of love, or honor past loved ones. Next, carefully unfold your lantern. Now, while
one of you holds the ring of the lantern have the other person remove the paper from around
the fuel cell. Lanterns are a two-person job. Next, swish around your lantern, as if it's a trash bag,
to help it fill with air so it stands better when you hold it over the tiki. As you can see,
here we forgot our silica packet. Make sure if that happens to you, you pick it up and throw it
away. We don't want to dirty our fairgrounds. Now, while you and your partner hold the ring of the
lantern, hold your lantern over the tiki until the fuel cell has ignited. Once that happens, hold your
lantern close to the ground while it fills with hot air. This may take a couple minutes. Once the
fuel cell is fully lit and the lantern has filled with heat, release the lantern into
the sky by gently pushing it upwards, making sure everyone is clear of the area around you. Watch
as the lanterns soar into the sky and enjoy the beautiful display of lights! Thank you. We hope you
enjoy yourself, and please remember to be careful and courteous as you exit the fairgrounds.
