Be part of a chase crew!

Chase Crews are assigned to a specific balloon and pilot, and help inflate and launch the balloon.  It’s a lot of fun.   Once aloft, they then hop in the balloon’s chase vehicle, and follow it to its landing area, helping fold the balloon.  A champagne toast follows for the crew and the landowner.  No prior experience necessary. What a great experience!

It’s an exciting fun job, suitable for any able-bodied person.

There is one launch each morning and evening.  Each launch only requires a few hours of help.

Benefits:

• Memories for a lifetime, and many laughs.
• A special “Chase Crew” festival shirt.
• For each slot that you are a volunteer, you’ll receive a day pass.
