A Bucket List Balloon Ride

WASHINGTON — Back in 2021, Frances Alarid got the chance of a lifetime when she won a free hot air balloon ride — something she had been wanting to try for years.

Watch Frances as she tells the story of how she lucked out, and what she saw from her bird’s eye view.

Speaking of Hot Air Balloons, coming up this weekend, Sand Hollow Resort will be hosting their annual Skyfest Hot Air Balloon Festival. On Saturday, February 5 at 7:30 AM more than 30 hot air balloons will take off and fill the skies.

Although no rides will be offered to the general public, you can watch from the Sand Hollow Golf Course for $20 per vehicle for parking. The morning launch will be followed by a hot air balloon glow and dinner that night at 5:00 PM.
