A Most Fabulous Morning...with Cindy and Tracy...

7/23/2022

Cindy recommends Big oh! Balloons:
"Absolutely recommend!!! Such an unbelievable experience. Can’t say enough great things about our balloon ride. Beautiful day, amazing captain and crew. Throughly enjoyed the adventure and would recommend to everyone. I have a tad fear of heights but the experience wasn’t scary. The opposite in fact. So very peaceful and calming. Even the landing. Had braced ourselves but the captain set us down easy. Believe they called it a grandpa landing. If you have any reservations about going on a ride, put them to rest and treat yourself to the experience with Big oh! Balloons!!!"

Kristie Darling
COMING TO A SKY NEAR YOU! Four local pilots flew from the Cool Spring Balloonport, east of Statesville, last night as a preview of Lifting Spirits Around the World...This weekend, our pilots and many others around the world will join together as a symbol of thanks, with balloon launches called Lifting Spirits Around the World. Independent balloonists from around the world will take flight on these two days, flooding social media with pictures and videos of their flights, with one goal – thanking frontline and essential workers. Balloons put smiles on the faces of young and old and with the postponement of the 49th Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta, we applaud the efforts of those pilots planning and participating in Lifting Spirits Around the World.
To learn more about the Lifting Spirits Around the World global launch, visit their https://liftingspiritsrndw.wixsite.com/thanks. Keep looking up!

I was reminded what Jim Thompson told us when we bought his balloon back in 1980...."If you buy this balloon, it will change your life." Well, it did in the most profound ways. So many amazing adventures and the most amazing people in our life. Ballooning is magic, still.

May your wishes all come true,
May you always do for others
And let others do for you.
