Do's/Don'ts:
Do:
- Dress warm as the early morning may be chilly. We are expecting good weather this weekend, but later in the summer, mornings tend to be a bit chilly.
- Wear shoes as the dew on the grass will cause the area to be wet.
- Take pictures from the sides of the grassy area, and stay back from any inflating balloons.
- Follow all pilot instructions if you are helping to crew the balloon. Balloons are aircraft and all instructions must be followed for the safest experience.
- Leave the dogs at home – burner noises can cause harm to a dog’s sensitive ears.
Don't:
- Touch anything on or around the balloon.
- Step on a deflated balloon for any reason.
- Smoke around a balloon. Smoking is prohibited in ALL Town of Windsor Parks and Trails.
- Bring pets – leave them at home!
- Forget to tell pilots “Thank you!” for coming! They spent their Labor Day weekend here with us and we appreciate their time!
