Balloon Outing update and recap as of 3/27/2012

Information from Les Schwartz, DPI-SIG Outings Director

Details are STILL  developing for the Balloon outing !!!  April 13, 14, 15

This will be a B I G Event. 

There is a lot going on there, a lot – day and night, besides balloons.

The Balloon Festival has a 21 page brochure describing all of the happenings taking place during the Festival.  I will not try to describe or even attach the brochure.  see the the previous Outings post on this website.

Read through the happenings during the Festival and choose when you want to be there.  Besides the Balloon events, (dawn and dusk, both days), this is a musical extravaganza as well.  Kinda like a Woodstock for those whose parents told them about it or those who were there and can still remember. 

You need to signup by April 10.  Les Schwartz, the Outings Director has arranged to provide each with a Media Pass  which will give us access to areas “off limits” to the public.  A great opportunity to get unique photos.  He will need your name as you want it to appear on the badge and the time you will arrive at the festival.  Once we know who is going and when, we can look at car-pool possibilities. There is a parking fee (am negotiating) but car-pooling is still a good idea. 

A DPI-SIG Contest:
