Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival
📣 #committeeintroductions #MeetOurPeople Help us welcome Cady and Taylor Means! The 2021 festival was their first year on our committee, and they rocked it! Cady and Taylor were the leads on the bar in the glow field and stayed to quench your thirst the whole weekend. They got to fly this year on our early morning flight on Saturday with Pilot Fred Poole in his balloon, Joy. Cady and Taylor may be new to the Balloon Festival Committee, but they have been involved with the Annual National Shrimp Festival for years and know their way around a beer tent! 🍻 … See MoreSee Less

📣 #committeeintroductions #MeetOurPeople Meet Cindy Higginbotham and Tyler Higginbotham:2022 will mark the 15th year we’ve been involved with the Gulf Coast Hot Air Balloon Festival. We’ve worked nearly all aspects of the festival and we are thrilled to see it flourish into what it is today. We landed on helping the pilots find crew when we realized being part of the crew is one of THE most incredible, breathtaking experiences you can have! As crew you get to see, up close, the awe-inspiring views of inflation, take-off and landings of magnificent hot air balloons and all the excitement and synergy that comes with being involved in something few get to experience – it’s a feeling like no other.We encourage anyone who wishes to make unique memories through volunteering to reach out and crew with us. We highly encourage local business owners to sign up your team, and work side by side with them, it’s a team building experience you’ll all enjoy. Tyler and Cindy Higginbotham own and operate 5 Star Air Conditioning, a Veteran-owned, American Standard Customer Care Dealer located in Foley, AL. They can be reached at 251.223.2010 if you have any additional questions regarding crewing.#committee #OWA #gchabf2022 #GCHABF #OWA #foleyfun … See MoreSee Less
