Wow…where did the first half of 2008 go??? It seems like just last week we were planning our summer schedule and now we’re well into it. Look for us at upcoming South County Balloon Festival (Kingston, RI) and the New Jersey Festival of Ballooning (Readington, NJ).
On June 6th, CT Ballooning offered tethered balloon rides at the Relay For Life in Manchester, CT. $1000 was raised and added to the Manchester Firefighters team donation to the American Cancer Society.
Over the Memorial Day weekend, CT Ballooning participated in the Letchworth Red, White & Blue Balloon Rally in Castile, NY. Flying from Letchworth State Park, 28 balloons enjoyed an amazing weekend of flying into the gorge and amongst the waterfalls before heading out into the surrounding farmland. If you’re a balloon enthusiast, this is a “must see” event as there’s only one way to describe flying the gorge – Unbelievable!!!
In early May, CT Ballooning traveled to Saltillo Mexico to participate in the 1st Festival International de Globos En Saltillo. With 8 balloons representing 4 different countries, this was a fabulous event. The backdrop to our flights was a beautiful 400+ year-old city surrounded by 2000’ tall mountains. Throw in the sunny and 85+ weather everyday and the flying was spectacular.
April 2008 Update
See us June 6th at the American Cancer Society – “Relay for Life” being held at Northwest Park in Manchester, CT. CT Ballooning, LLC will be offering tethered balloon rides from 6pm to 8pm with all proceeds being added to the Manchester Firefighters relay team donation.

January 2008
2008 is off to a great start with an unexpected high number of flyable mornings. Yes, the cold and snow is here but we’re still flying and it’s been awesome.
On January 5th, we participated in the annual “Frozen Buns Fly-Out” along with 16 other balloons. Snow covered ground, frozen ponds, and clear visibility made for a fantastic flight from Southington, over Ragged Mountain, and into the southern end of Berlin.
