Hot Air Balloon Glow

The Hot Air Balloon Glow event will offer residents the opportunity interact and learn about different kinds of hot air balloons before they lift off into the night sky for a beautiful glowing display.

In addition to the hot air balloons, there will numerous food trucks available at the event as well as a live band.

“We’ll have ten hot air balloons coming to West Carrollton. They’ll be what they call ‘standing up’, it will look like it does behind us [pointed at balloon]. Around nine o’clock they will then ‘glow’ them. It makes for amazing photos and it’s something to see; to watch them stand them up. Because of the way we’re doing this people will have the opportunity to talk to the pilots, maybe even stand in some of the baskets and get some nice photos,” Cheryl Dillin, the event planner.

background. They’re a great band, easy to listen to. The West Carrollton Band Boosters are selling alcohol so all of the proceeds go to them. Of course, we have the balloons that will be standing up, they’re going to come around 7 and 8.” said Dillin.

“This is my balloon, it’s the Air Heads Balloon. It’s a standard-size balloon, it’s 90,000 cubic feet, which means it’ll hold 90,000 basketballs if we put them in there. It can take me plus two pretty easily, it’s a one-way trip. We float with the wind and we fly around Butler and Warren County, primarily,” said Sean Askren, balloon pilot and event organizer.
