ONCE AGAIN THIS YEAR YOU’RE BEING WARNED NOT TO PULL OVER ON I-25 TO WATCH THE HOT AIR BALLOONS. SIGNS THAT READ “SPECTATOR PARKING PROHIBITED” HAVE NOW BEEN PLACED ALONG THE INTERSTATE. MELISSA DOSHER WITH THE STATE D-O-T SAYS PARKING ON THE SHOULDER OF THE FREEWAY CAN BE VERY DANGEROUS.
THE ALBUQUERQUE INTERNATIONAL BALLOON FIESTA OFFICIALLY BEGINS SATURDAY MORNING, WITH THE FIRST MASS ASCENSION AT 7:00.
BALLOON FIESTA OFFICIALS SAY THERE’S STILL A NEED FOR CHASE CREW VOLUNTEERS. YOU NEED TO BE 18 OR OLDER, BUT CHILDREN 12 AND OLDER CAN VOLUNTEER WITH A PARENT’S SIGNATURE. IF YOU’RE INTERESTED YOU SHOULD GO TO THE FIESTA PARK BY THIS FRIDAY AND GO TO THE SID CUTTER PILOTS’ PAVILION ON THE FIELD WHERE YOU’LL BE SIGNED UP . NO EXPERIENCE IS NEEDED.
