This year is an exciting year for the Lake George Winter Carnival as they are celebrating their 50th year and the SunKiss Balloon Team is grateful to be apart of it!!

We kicked off this years event with a celebration parade on Feb. 5th down Canada St in Lake George. The wintery weather was in full action as our balloon team and equipment was covered in snow but we entertained the crowd nonetheless. We were a big hit with our mobile heaters as we traveled the parade route blasting our burners for the crowd. This years parade had three times the participants as last year and we were very proud to be asked to participate in it.

Last weekend was just the kick off, there are three more weekends jammed pack full of fun!  This weekend we will return to the ice Saturday and Sunday morning at 7:30 AM in preparation for our morning hot air balloon tethered rides. and will be there every Saturday and Sunday mornings in February. Lake George is a beautiful place to visit, and seeing it from 150 feet above it is even more breath taking.
The Hot Air Balloon tethered ride is just one great reason to visit LG in the winter, they have all kinds of activities going on all month long for everyone, check them out on the web at www.lakegeorgewintercarnival.com

If you are around on Sunday about 1PM come check us out at Shepards Cove as the SunKiss Balloon Team will be participating in the 2011 Tavern Competition. Our pilots and team members will work together to complete a series of relay races while battling the snow and wintery temperatures .

February 19th and 20th will be our annual Winter Fly Off from Lake George. We will invite some of our closest friends and pilots to come visit for the weekend. We plan to take a scenic flight from the ice, flying over the mountains and landing in the farm fields of beautiful Fort Ann. On Saturday night we will return to the ice in the evening for a Moon Glow in coordination with a fireworks display. It should be a lot of fun and offer lots of great photos opportunities. If you have never seen a moon glow it is a must see, so be sure not to miss it.

And don't forget join our crew every Saturday and Sunday morning on the ice near Million Dollar Beach. We look forward to seeing you, so please stop by and introduce yourself!
