SOMETHING NEW THIS YEAR AT ALBUQUERQUE’S INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA. THE FIESTA IS NOW LAUNCHING “X MARKS THE SPOT,” A PROGRAM THAT HAS RESIDENTS LAYING OUT AN “X” ON OR NEAR THEIR PROPERTY TO SHOW BALLOONISTS WHERE THEY CAN LAND.
JIM GARCIA WITH THE BALLOON FIESTA’S BOARD OF DIRECTORS TELLS KOB TV FINDING THE RIGHT PLACE TO LAND A BALLOON IS OFTEN CHALLENGING. AND IF A PILOT LANDS ON OR NEAR A PROPERTY, THE OWNER WILL BE INCLUDED AMONG THE NAMES ENTERED TO WIN A PRIZE PACKAGE FROM A DAILY DRAWING.
THE HISPANO CHAMBER OF COMMERCE IS SPONSORING THE PROGRAM AND YOU CAN PICK UP THE VINYL TO MAKE YOUR “X” AT THE CHAMBER AS OF NEXT TUESDAY.
