FREE Balloon Rides for Vets with Captain Crystal Stout

The world is expanding for our little nonprofit balloon which operates mostly out of Sequim Valley Airport. Captain-Crystal Stout, our local hot air balloon pilot and Executive Director of the Dream Catcher Balloon program, will be having Veterans and their Families Ride FREE on May 11 from 8:00 - 10:00 AM at the field across from the Shipley Center off East Washington and Hammond Street in downtown Sequim. This is open also to the general public, seniors, and mobility challenged individuals for a modest donation of $10 per person. There will also be another Veterans Ride FREE event in Chehalis on May 17. For more information on this amazing program which gives everyone a chance to fly, see their website at DreamCatcherBalloon.org which also has a link if you want to donate. Facebook.com/DreamCatcherBalloon will be listing all the upcoming events including to Salt Lake City and Carson City at the end of this summer.

The Dream Catcher Balloon will be on display at Aviation Days at the Alaska Airlines hangar in Seatac on May 4 from 8-5 PM. This is a free event for the kids and a chance to experience many types of aircraft up close. Then our balloon team will take Dream Catcher to the Horizon Operations hangar at Portland International Airport for their Aviation Day on May 18. This is also free to the public. Should be a fun time.
