Welcome to the 2008 Holiday Balloon Fest!

  

Kellogg Community College, (KCC) 
450 North Av Ave.  Battle Creek, Michigan

A Note from the HBF Executive Director:
On behalf of the Board of Directors, Chair Committees, dedicated Volunteers, and our Sponsors, I’m proud to welcome all our guests to the 10th Annual Holiday Balloon Fest.

 “A Decade of Family Fun” and it will be another exciting year for everyone that attends. This is a milestone for us we celebrate our 10th Anniversary Celebration, we have waited nine years for this event to take place and are excited as when we started back in 1999.

10 Year comittee and board members

We focus our efforts on safety & education and also providing a quality event for our visiting aeronauts and their families. We are also dedicated to the continuation of our event as the best, and only winter balloon event in Michigan.  I think that you will be as excited as our pilots are flying over Battle Creek!

The entire Holiday Balloon Fest, Inc. staff are all volunteers of our non-profit organization and will be making every effort to make you feel like special guests during the Family oriented, Fun-filled, FREE event we can possibly produce.

We are confident that balloonists from all around the nation will “unite” in the tradition of Friendship, Fellowship, and Fun.  You too will be able to experience that camaraderie during your visit being able to walk up to and around the balloons at Kellogg Community College near downtown Battle Creek!  New this year will be the addition of a wonderful Fireworks show on Saturday evening December 6th.

In closing, please enjoy yourself during your visit and stay in Battle Creek.  I’m proud to be directing the Holiday Balloon Fest since it’s creation and hosting Pilot’s and their crews from our Community, State, and across our Nation.  Come one; come all to the 10th Annual Holiday Balloon Fest, at Kellogg Community College!  We are confident you’re about to see sights during our 2 evening Glittering Balloon Glows and 4 Frosty Balloon Flights that are unparalleled & unique to anything you are use to seeing in ballooning.  We will see you there!
