Welcome to MsBalloonChamps.org
Home of the Mid-Mississippi Balloon Club!
Come join us at our regular meetings. We usually meet the 1st Tuesday of each month. The meetings begin between 6:15pm and 6:30pm. The August meeting is scheduled for August 3rd, 2010 at El Portrillo's Mexican Restaurant on Lakeland Drive (Hwy25 near Old Fannin Road). See you there.
If you are interested in joining our club or want to just come visit at one of our meetings, please send a message to the club email so we can add you to our email listing for notices. We look forward to seeing you all soon at one of our meetings or get-togethers.
We had a great time this year at the Mississippi Championship Hot Air Balloon Race. Everyone tied for first place (that sounds better than everyone tied for last place). We would like to thank all who came out to help with the festival. Now it is time to start planning for next year's event. Let us know if you would like to be a volunteer for next year or if you would like to participate as a sponsor.
The Balloon Federation of America (BFA) is looking for Mentors (and members) for their Junior Balloonists camp. Two Mississippi members attended last year's camp which was held in July. The BFA is also accepting contributions for scholarships for next year's camp which will be sometime in July. This program provides an opportunity for interested balloonists between 13 and 18 to participate in a great balloon educational opportunity. If you are interested in participating as a Mentor or as a Junior Balloonist, or if you would like to make a contribution to the club for a club scholarship, just get in touch with us and we will try to help it happen for you. For more information, see their website at www.bfacamp.com or see their newsletter here.
If you have a write-up for any of your ballooning events, please submit it to the webmaster so it can be added to our site.
