Elementary School Visit Day
7:00am - Inflation and First Launch - Ann Morrison Park
This morning’s inflation will cater to elementary school field trips to the Ann Morrison Park launch site.
Thanks to a generous grant from the Micron Foundation, students living outside the Boise area, who would not have had an opportunity to attend the Balloon Classic, will be bussed in from outlying communities. Students will have an opportunity to learn (with Scott Spencer, Event Producer and Disney balloon pilot) about the history of ballooning and the equipment that makes up a modern hot air balloon.
Students will also be taught (by Larry Gebert, Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic Official Meteorologist) what makes a “good weather day” for balloon pilots.
Wednesday’s messages to the students will be geared toward children grades 4 – 6.
