GET CARRIED AWAY! FOR OVER 40 YEARS THE NATIONAL BALLOON CLASSIC has been one of the largest, and longest, hot air balloon events in the Midwest. This year, Get Carried Away as nearly 100 hot air balloons paint the Iowa sky with brilliant colors and lively Special Shapes. Cheer on skilled pilots as they compete for points and prizes, sit back and enjoy live music, grab a bite to eat, bounce with the kiddos in Kids Land, buy a balloon ride for a one-of-a-kind view, and prepare to be awestruck as dark skies come alive with a mystical glow during Dawn Patrol and Nite Glow Extravaganza. Great things await you during the spectacular 9-day event. There is so much to see and do at the balloon field, but don’t stop there. The fun at the field takes place every morning and evening, which gives you all day to explore Indianola and Warren County, home of the National Balloon Classic. Don’t miss the Wacky Classic Parade as it winds its way around our treasured town square that is sprinkled with unique shops, sips, and hidden gems. Grab a cold root beer at Gib’s A&W Restaurant, an original drive-in adventure, explore the National Balloon Museum where you’ll find over 200 years of ballooning history, visit one (or all) of Warren County’s award-winning wineries or distilleries, and don’t miss the Warren County Fair, a premiere family-friendly event July 27-August 1. We welcome you to our community and hope you take advantage of the many great things to do, explore, and experience in this very special place. — Staci Scheurenbrand Executive Director, National Balloon Classic 2016 NATIONAL BALLOON CLASSIC JULY 29 – AUGUST 6 • INDIANOLA, IOWA GENERAL ADMISSION Balloon Field: 15335 Jewell Street (East of Indianola on HWY 92.

So many reasons to try Studio Fusco, including: 116 W Ashland Ave, Indianola, IA 50125 www.studiofus.co | hello@studiofus.co 515-442-0204 | /studiofusco Frequently Asked Questions HOW DO I GET TO THE NATIONAL BALLOON CLASSIC? The National Balloon Classic takes place at the National Balloon Classic Memorial Balloon Field, which is located east of Indianola on Hwy 92. From the intersection of Hwy 69 and Hwy 92, go east two miles and follow balloon traffic signs. Caution: the physical address is 15335 Jewell Street, Indianola, Iowa. Avoid GPS directions that include 150th Avenue, which is closed during the event. HOW EARLY SHOULD I ARRIVE AT THE BALLOON FIELD? MORNING: With the exception of Dawn Patrol days, morning traffic is typically light with selfparking. For Dawn Patrol, arrive at 5:00 a.m. when gates open (bring a flashlight). For regular morning flights, arriving 30 minutes early should be sufficient. EVENING: Evening crowds can be quite large; arriving as early as possible is highly recommended especially on weekends and Nite Glow Extravaganza. Evening gates open at 4:00 p.m. HOW DO I PURCHASE TICKETS? Tickets may be purchased at the balloon field, cash only. Once inside the gates, ATM’s are located on the east and west end inside the balloon field gates. Go cashless and purchase your tickets online through our website at NationalBalloonClassic.com. WHEN DO THE BALLOONS FLY? Balloons are scheduled to fly each day at 6:30 a.m. and 6:30 p.m. During these times, winds are calmest and the air is most stable. All events at the National Balloon Classic are dependent on prevailing weather conditions and subject to weather delays or cancellations. Although every effort is made for a successful balloon launch/land, the safety of our pilots, volunteers, and spectators is our primary concern. Flight decisions are made during Pilot Briefings, which are held approximately 30 minutes before each flight. If extreme weather conditions exist, notices will be posted via social media and our Public Information line. Taking a “wait and see” approach will probably result in arriving at the field too late and missing a beautiful night of balloon gazing. HOW DO BALLOONS COMPETE? Hot air balloon competition is based on flying accuracy rather than speed. Pilots compete in several different competitions every morning and evening; however, morning competition is for points, which determines the overall winner of the National Balloon Classic/North Central Regional Championship. WHAT SHOULD I BRING TO THE BALLOON FIELD? Bring a lawn chair or blanket for seating. A limited number of chairs are available to rent for $2 per chair. Our 150-acre balloon field is an open, grassy space that provides perfect views from all areas of the field. ARE PETS ALLOWED AT THE BALLOON FIELD? No, pets are not allowed. Service animals are allowed. More Frequently Asked Questions IS SMOKING ALLOWED AT THE BALLOON FIELD? Absolutely no smoking is allowed at the balloon field. No smoking includes electronic cigarettes. CAN I BRING MY OWN FOOD AND BEVERAGES? We have a variety of food and beverage vendors at the balloon field including a beer tent. No outside food, beverages, or coolers are allowed. Bags and backpacks are subject to inspection. WHERE CAN I PURCHASE BALLOON SOUVENIRS? Official apparel, souvenirs, and essentials like bug spray and sunscreen may be purchased at the Gift Shop located inside the main entrance to the east. WHAT IF THE BALLOONS DON’T FLY? Weather delays and wind-related cancellations are out of our control; however, ensuring each guest has a wonderful experience is our primary goal. Great bands, great food, and other forms of entertainment, including Kids Land activities, make the National Balloon Classic affordable and fun. WHAT IS THERE TO DO DURING THE DAY? Hot air balloons do not fly during the heat of the day; therefore, after the morning flights, the balloon field gates remain locked until the evening session. This is the perfect time to explore our great community. From Wacky parades to wineries, to Bike Night and Music, Indianola and Warren County have many great things to do and see. And no trip to the National balloon Classic is complete without a visit to the National Balloon Museum and U.S. Hall of Fame, which is home to over 200 years of ballooning history!
