As most of you know, Kentland Indiana has been talking to us about holding a balloon event in there area. After working with them, for about a year now, the dates are now set for July 9-11.
They have decided to start out the first year small (which I think is smart), and make it grow from there. I feel that they are very dedicated to making this an event that every pilot will want to come back to.
This year they would like to limit the number of balloons to 10, and just have “fun” competition for gifts, and with paid passengers available.
Along with the normal room, fuel & meals you will be given $200 show up money. They are also planning some type of crew challenge, and entertainment for the balloon teams.
During the weekend there will also be a festival all day with other types of “air” entertainment. I am not sure what all it will be as they are still working all that out. But I am sure it will be a fun week end.
More details will be out soon, as will the applications. If you think that you would like to attend this new event, please let me know as space is limited, and I can only accept the first 10 balloons.
We are also looking for 1 balloon per night to tether and split the funds with the festival. They donate theirs to charity.
Again, if you would like to attend, let me know asap, and I will get the entry papers to you.
