Volunteers Needed!
The Heritage Inn Balloon Festival would not be successful without the countless hours of dedication our volunteers provide. We welcome you to join our team to help during the event.
Crew Training • September 21, 2027
Crew Training is a hands-on review of your role as a hot air balloon crew member. This workshop provides a basic grounding for all volunteers as well. Crew Training is not mandatory, although highly recommended.
If you would like to attend Crew Training on Tuesday, September 21, 2027, please register for training ahead of time. (Link available late July 2027.)
