About Our Hot Air Balloon Rides, Up,
Up and Away!
 First, your
winning bidders will meet the pilot and ground crew who will take
them to the launch site where the beautiful balloon is being inflated. Then
the ground crew will unpack the equipment and invite the passengers to
participate in the inflation process. After launching, the balloon will
gently ascend and float between 500 and 1,000 feet. They will travel
above the treetops and below the clouds for about an hour, covering five to
ten miles--wherever the wind takes them!
The whole
experience takes about three hours...three fantastic hours!
One Person, Two Person & Four Person Rides
Include
a balloon ride for one person, two people, and four people
in your auction.

location list, they may move on and forget to come back to place their
bids!
