Here’s a few things to keep in mind when you come out to the
rally:
- This is a family friendly event. While we love our four legged friends too, we discourage bringing them to the rally. It’s extremely crowded, especially on vendor alley, and we would hate for your pets, especially the tiny ones, to get stepped on or spooked in some way.
- There will be no parking at the park unless you have a handicapped tag.
- Because of the limited parking at the park, we are once again offering a free shuttle on Friday and Saturday nights from 4 p.m. until 10:30 (ish) p.m. The shuttle will be running back and forth between the pickup spots and the rally between those hours. The three designated pickup spots are: Northern Lights Plaza, McDonalds Plaza, and the Kmart Plaza. Look for signs directing you where to exactly the shuttle will pick up.
- Launch times are not set in stone. We set launch times, but if the weather is not appropriate for flying, we will delay until it is safe to launch. Our first concern has to be the safety of the balloon pilots, crew, and passengers.
-Decisions regarding when we launch or delaying the launch take place from the field. We don’t know what will happen with the weather until we are there.
- Updates about launch times, including delays will be posted to our Facebook page as soon as we have them. Please be patient if you message the page and you don’t get an immediate reply.
We hope you enjoy the 43rd Annual Great Wellsville Balloon Rally. The committee works very hard to make sure this is an amazing experience for everyone! Thank you so much for your continued support and helping us make these events possible!
