Tree Top Flyer Ballooning

Help us welcome Patrick Grogan from Cleveland, NC, flying Pat-O-Lantern at the 50th Carolina BalloonFest!

They’ve been flying with us for 20 years, and we’re honored to have them back.

When asked why they keep coming back year after year, they simply said: “It’s my local rally!”

We can’t wait to see them in the sky this October 17–19 in Statesville, NC!

Inside a hot air balloon, the temp stays below 248°F—hot enough to lift off, but cool enough to keep things safe. See the magic up close at the Great Smoky Mountain Hot Air Balloon Festival in Townsend, TN, this August 16th!
