After Holiday’s Party
This meeting is the Colorado Balloon Club’s answer to a Christmas Party. Our annual After Holiday’s Party is held every year on the last Sunday in January. The meeting is held to introduce the newly elected officials of the Colorado Balloon Club for the upcoming year, present awards for the past years competitions, and award outstanding contributions made by our members to the sport of ballooning. It is also a time to meet and visit with old and new friends and members we seldom see during the year.
