Twenty balloons will be flying from the Turf Valley Resort, with four flights and two night glows scheduled. Our friends, Ron and Nancy Broderick are hosts. I think some crab cakes will likely be consumed.

York County Balloon Festival
In its 5th year, 30 balloons and special shapes plan flights and a glow with proceeds going to the county parks there. We enjoyed our sponsor lat year, Yowza Spring Water. That was a natural for us!

Spiedie Fest Balloon Rally
Always a good time, balloons fly from Otsiningo Park right next to I-81. Usually plenty of fun shaped balloons, entertainment, arts and crafts, car shows, volleyball tournaments, and of course, the spiedies!

Aug. 28-Sept. 1, 2008 Dansville, NY
New York State Festival of Balloons
This will be the 27th year balloons have flown in Dansville for Labor Day weekend, and I'm proud to say I've been flying in all of them! Usually 60 balloons decorate the scenic Genesee River valley during six scheduled flights. Also a large array of arts and crafts.

Sept. 19-21, 2008 Glens Falls, NY
Adriondack Balloon Festival
The largest event we attend, typically more than 80 balloons gather annually at the Warren County Airport. And there's never an admission charge to the public! This is also an event that often draws more spectators in the mornings than in the evenings, but either way, tens of thousands will be joining you. Contact us early if you'd like a reservation for a ride. Some of our regular friends count on a ride each year!
