Bristol Balloon Fiesta this year was a particularly special celebration as it was the 30th Anniversary since the very first fiesta. Russell Collins, Chief Pilot of High Road Balloons, took part in the fiesta flying a Cameron Concept 90 sized balloon advertising the 'Complete Eyecare Formula' artwork, an eye care solution for AMO. (Advanced Medical Optics). Though the weather was changeable and altogether not amazing this year we still managed to tether the balloon for the TV cameras and got some good coverage from the BBC and ITV – this was great value for the client.
We made 2 balloon flights across Bristol City and put on quite a show with the mass launches. With big name balloons such as: House of Fraiser, Sloggi, Monster.com, EDF Energy, Discovery Channel and many many more, over 100 hot air balloons in total
This is the 3rd year Russell has been involved with Bristol and he thoroughly enjoys the balloon flights and the chance to get together with hundreds of other balloonists…….if you saw something at Bristol that gets you excited about ballooning and you want to find out more or come for a hot air balloon flight then you should get in touch with us at High Road Balloons. Equally if you have or work for a company that you think could benefit from the fantastic aeriel adevertising opportunities that a hot air balloon affords – particularly at these kind of events – then by all means get in touch. info@highroadballoons.co.uk Rememeber that balloons are huge and unmissable and unlike other forms of advertising people tend to get their cameras out and take pictures or home movies.
We are heading for the weekend that holds Northampton Balloon Fiesta (August 15th to 17th) where there will be upto 80 hot air balloons. Over the summer months there is a balloon fiesta / meet every weekend and indeed over the winter months there are plenty around the world. If ballooning is what you like then there are some great opportunities out there for you!!
