The 2009 Balloonmeister - Paul Sena of Worthington Ballooning

Hot Air Balloon rides originate at Greenfield Community College grounds and are scheduled for Friday, Saturday evenings, and Saturday morning (weather permitting). Flights take off as close to 6 o'clock (AM and PM) as possible and last anywhere from 45 minutes to over an hour. Of course, the length of the flight is largely dependent upon the winds and weather conditions of the day.

Advanced registration for a ride is $225 per passenger (purchased prior to 7/18. $250 at the festival); most balloons can carry 2-4 passengers as well as the pilot. Cash and credit cards (VISA or MasterCard) are accepted. To make flight reservations, you can contact us by telephone at (413) 773-5463 or via email. Don't forget to leave your daytime telephone number so we can contact you.  Festival admission is included in the cost.

Passengers must be over the age of 10 and in good health.  If you are pregnant, recently released from the hospital, have current broken bones or casts you will not be able to qualify to purchase a ride. Passengers under the age of 18 must have parental permission or the parent must fly with them. Riders are accepted at the discretion of the ride operator. All passengers will be required to sign a release form provided at the Festival balloon tent.

The balloons, due to winds, can only inflate and fly during early morning or evening hours. They do not fly during the day.
