Flying Bees to Perform at Midfirst Ohio Challenge Festival |
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 3:05:43 PM - Middletown Ohio |
Joey and Lily, The Little Bees, will be flying together
during morning flights and glowing after dark at the 7th Annual
MidFirst Ohio Challenge Hot Air Balloon Festival on July 17, 18 and 19, 2009.
The Little Bees are the world’s only tandem flying
special shape hot air balloons. They have appeared all over the world since
their “birth” in 2003 at the Victoria Balloon factory in Brazil. They each hold 98,000 cubic feet of hot air, stand
110 feet tall and reach 110 feet from finger tip to finger tip.
Besides the crowd-pleasing special shape balloons,
there will be 33 other hot air balloon competitors in the sanctioned flying
contest.
Some changes and improvements have been made to this years
event including:
The parking entrance has been changed from Tytus Avenue to the
airport entrance off Germantown/SR4. A
free shuttle system will then take guests from their parking area to the Middletown of the festival
area. Pedestrians may still enter off Tytus.
The MidFirst Ohio Challenge committee, led by
Chairwoman Maria Langendorf, decided to hold the parking fee to $5 as a way to
allow families a reasonably priced entertainment option. All passengers in a vehicle are admitted
free. Walk-in adult guests pay $2.
Children with adults are free.
A full festival with carnival rides, arts and
crafts, festival foods, live music, a car show and much more will surround the
daily balloon flights. Featured
performers will be the Fastrax Skydiving team with their spectacular aerial
acrobatics.
