Masks Required at all nd Balloon Rally Events Welcome to the 32 Great
Prosser Balloon Rally
The Great Prosser Balloon Rally is excited to bring balloons back to Prosser after not being able to have an event last year. We are happy to bring back the gorgeous hot air balloons to Prosser to lift everyone’s spirits in these trying times. As we prepare for our 32nd annual event, we are requiring masks and social distancing, but thrilled to still be able to have an event and allow everyone to enough seeing hot air balloons! We are happy to have this event in our town, and show off our beautiful area to all the visitors. If you see a balloon pilot, or one of our sponsors please tell them thank you for helping bring this wonderful event to town. We have sunrise launches planned for Sept. 24th, 25th, and 26th at the Prosser Airport, Weather Permitting, masks required. A Night Glow show has been planned for Saturday, Sept 25th at Art Fiker Stadium, and the stadium will open at 6:30 p.m. for some great music from the Bram Brata Steel Drum Band. All of the sun rise launches and night glow are dependent upon the weather, and we are requiring masks for all who wish to attend. We are looking forward to a great rally this year, and are very thankful that Tim Gale has accepted our invitation to be our Balloonmeister. We encourage the public to grab their cameras and come out and enjoy the early morning launches. The beauty of the balloons floating over the Yakima River is a sight that everyone should see. And don’t forget about the Night Glow, sponsored by PMH Medical Center and the Milne Kid Zone will have goodie bags to hand out at Night Glow, while the balloons prepare to light up. The Great Prosser Balloon rally is a very special event with a lot of tradition and history. Every year, it introduces a new generation of kids to hot air ballooning and sparks so many great questions and interests. We appreciate the support and effort throughout the community to help make this a wonderful event for Prosser every year. Chairman, Morgan Everett
We are requiring masks and enforcing social distancing at the morning launches AND Night Glow. Due to current requirements by the State, masks will be required at ALL of The Great Prosser Balloon Rally events regardless of outdoor
locations and vaccination status. If people do not wish to wear masks we ask them to walk the launches from outside of the airport. We greatly appreciate your understanding and support as the
Committee works hard to continue with this family friendly event while following recommendations to protect our pilots, sponsors, volunteers, and spectators. Thank you!
