Balloon Festival Is Here! Oh Joy, Oh Rapture Unforeseen!




All right folks, the big buildup is over - Balloon Fest starts in less than 15 hours! Here's what you need to know, so please read carefully:
  • Check out the schedules on the right sidebar and note when you work. Set an alarm for each shift, so that you don't oversleep or forget. Please arrive at least 10-15 minutes BEFORE your shift begins.
  • Look at the Balloon Fest Site Map at the top of the sidebar and note where the Band Trailer is located. You MUST come to the Band Trailer at the beginning of your shift - that is where you check in, and if you don't come to the Band Trailer, we won't know that you're here. That will cause great concern and upset. We do not want to be concerned and upset.
  • The Balloon Fest Site Map will also show you where the three Soccer Concessions stand are located, and the stars indicate the locations of the Security Monitor stations. 
  • If you are being dropped off for your shift, your driver may (POLITELY!) let the Parking Monitor on 92nd know that they are just going down to drop you off. They may pull over by Millen Street to let you out, and then turn around.
  • We have a very limited number of parking places in the lot in front of THS for volunteers to park. If you must drive, let the Security Monitor at the school entrance know you are working and they will let you in. Please park in the very front, where the office folks usually park.
  • When you finish your shift, you MUST return to the Band Trailer to sign out. If you do not sign out, you will not get credit for your shift. Sadness.
  • AND, remember it will be very VERY HOT for the next three days. Sunscreen is a must - getting burned in this type of weather will make you very sick. You need to bring plenty of water and wear clothing that will provide shade - hats are strongly recommended.  And make sure you hydrate really well for the remainder of today, as well as the whole weekend. 
  •  Did you read all the way to the end? If so, you get a prize! Yay! Ask for it when you check in at the Band Trailer!
