Our next big Winthrop event is one of our favorites....the annual Winthrop Balloon Festival March 1-3. This is the 16th year for this event. Kurt and Melinda Oakley at Morning Glory Balloons graciously organize and recruit balloonists to this event every year. We are so fortunate to have this very special opportunity to see dozens of balloons up close and personal. This is another one of those "only in the Methow Valley would this happen" events. The balloonists come to this event totally on their own. They are not paid to attend nor is there any charge for people to attend. If your business values what Kurt and Melinda and the visiting balloonists do to bring tourists in on a lazy weekend in March PLEASE CONSIDER SUPPORTING THEM. Kurt is looking for thank you items from local businesses to go into the gift baskets he provides to the balloonists. IF you can help please contact Kurt and Melinda at 997-1700.
Also, here is the press release for this event. Please be familiar with the schedule of events so you can share it with your guests.
