    My daughter just now came through Gainesville TX and saw a board on the. Balloon Spectacular being in September. I looked it up but it was in 2012. Are you having another one this year ? I have been in Balloon Crews for 13 years. My daughter has done them with me 3 times. If you are going to be there again this year, we are both able to volunteer.

    Is it $20 for one person to ride or can more get on?

    My Kids would love this, but i sure can’t afford $10.00 for a 2yr, 3yr, 5 yrs & 9yr plus myself that is 50 dollars, maybe you should think of a lower price for kids. They would have loved to come

      It does add up. I always cringe a little when the carnival comes to town – looking at the price to have a night of fun then looking in my wallet. But having been on both ends of the fun, I know it costs a lot to put an event together too. For something like balloons, maybe you can just find a parking lot near by and let the kids admire them from a distance?

    How many balloons do you anticipate at the event?

    Tethered Rides will be available, on-site,
    weather permitting for a $20 donation.

    I was wondering if people would be able to ride the balloons as they ascend or if you can only watch. Thanks for your time.
