It’s that time of year again. The temperature changes, the fall foliage that has kept us so busy falls to the ground, it gets darker earlier and earlier, our phones may not be ringing as much, and our chase vehicles may not be getting as many miles put on them. Unfortunately, all good things must come to end. It is now that we are saying good bye to our 2010 flying season and thanking it for a heck of a ride!

This past year has been great. We have traveled a lot and gained lots of new crew that we are so thankful for. It was a great season and we couldn’t have done it without you all, and you know who you are. Even though the flying may have calmed for a bit our crew is still as anxious as ever. Again this year we will be participating in the 2010 GF National Holiday Parade in South Glens Falls on November 21^st. We have lots of new crew, great ideas, and ready hands to make this year’s float happen. This year will be bigger and better than any year before, and we are on the list to be judged, we will be “UP” for the holidays to give you a little hint…so be sure to come check us out!

After the parade we will do our traditional Thanksgiving morning Turkey Trot flight and after party. I have heard that the “turkey football” has been repaired and is ready for this year’s event. Our ballooning teams have become one big family, and holidays are all about family…so we start Thanksgiving out with a flight with ours. It is always a great time; contact us for more details if you would like to join us.

Don’t worry, we won’t be putting the balloons away for hibernation…Todd couldn’t do that, he would go crazy without any ballooning. We have the Lake George Winter Carnival! Come join us every Saturday and Sunday in February on Lake George…and we mean on it, literally. Join our team as we provide tether rides (for a fee) on the ice of Lake George. Experience a taste of what a balloon ride is like with the mountainous views of Lake George region covered in snow caps…a sight to see, don’t miss it! Oh and that’s not all, typically the third weekend in February we do our Snow Bird event. We bring all of our ballooning friends out of hibernation for a winter fly off and moon glow from Lake George. It is a tricking flight that can only happen so many times a year, don’t miss it. That same weekend we will join the Lake George Winter Carnival teams at their bon fire where we will display our balloons at a moon glow just in time for the fireworks over the lake.

So we won’t be soaring through the skies 5-8 times a week, going over our cell phone minutes, or having (as many) weekend tailgates but we will give you some reasons to come out of the house this winter, and we’ll be looking for you, so see you soon!
