The Galt House has assured us that our needs will be taken care of as far as the show producers and technical staff that have to be in the Galt House to produce the show.

It's to give people in different areas an opportunity to preview the races. Each year it will be held in a different area. Next year we'll take it to another area of Metro Louisville, possibly Southern Indiana. … We just wanted to add events to the schedule and create our own little balloon festival.

It's special because it brings the whole community together.
