The Pilots that joined us in 2020 !
Last year we hosted an all Canadian line up of pilots. Sadly, our international friends were not able to attend due to isolating requirements after entering the country.
Following are the 17 entries that participated in the 2020 Heritage Inn International Balloon Festival.
