Hello, I work for the City of Greenwood Village and we are working on having a new event in the City. We would like to do an evening balloon glow, posible tethered rides, we would have a band, food trucks etc. Working with balloon pilots is new for us, if someone could get back to me so we could make a great new event that would be appreciated.
Thank you.

People Wanting to Crew
Hello! I am a local flight instructor and often during my flights I see hot air balloons and I have recently become interested in learning more! I would love to get in touch with some local balloon pilots to learn more about getting involved. Thanks!

Hello,
I got involved with ballooning in Durango and Pagosa Springs 3 years ago, and I fell in love with it. I moved to Denver 1.5 years ago and haven't had the opportunity to rejoin the community until now. I would love to join a chase crew and work towards learning more and maybe becoming a pilot myself one day. Thank you for your time,
Alex

My teenage son and I are looking to get involved with a crew to learn the ropes and help out where we can. Close to Colorado Springs would be ideal but willing to travel.

Brand new, never been in a hot air balloon. Looking to connect to get a sense/feel of what it means to be part of a crew and potentially, pilot. I would appreciate any insights and wisdoms you have.
Thank you very much!

Greetings,
I'm interested in doing some hot air balloon crewing. I've previously crewed about a dozen launches of balloons and airships with Greenpeace. I live in Lakewood Colorado and would like to keep it as local as possible.
Thanks

Hello! I am writing about joining a chase crew in the Denver and surrounding areas to learn the ropes
of balloon flying. I am an instrument rated private pilot and I have always wanted to fly balloons.
Look forward to hearing from you,
