The Hot Air Balloon Competition will be as intense as ever with the pilots competing for National Points and Cash Awards. 44 balloons will be entered into the competition event which includes three competition flights racing for targets that are located around the Greater Findlay area. These target locations are un-announced until just before each competition launch, and the pilots must make quick decisions for flight planning to achieve these targets. So pick your favorite balloon and pilot, and follow their progress over the weekend.

When the balloons aren’t flying you can enjoy all the other activities going on over the weekend at Emory Adams Park. These include tethered balloon rides, helicopter rides over the City, Kids Fair with kid’s rides, pony rides, Car and Motorcycle show, 5K run, Corn Hole tournament, Wheelchair races, 25 food vendors, and many more exciting things to do and see. The ever popular evening “Glow” on Friday and Saturday night and, weather permitting, Fireworks show on Saturday evening after the Glow. And as we did last year, we hope to raise over $40,000.00 to benefit local charities.

Bring the family, friends, and neighbors to enjoy Findlay’s most fun-filled weekend of the year. As we look to the sky at the colorful display over Findlay, keep your eyes peeled, as there is a strong rumor that the USAF may be flying over the City.
