The RI Contest at the South County Balloon Festival is returning this year.
http://www.kcbs.us/events.php?year=&month=&id=4826
For people that haven't been, this is a great venue - especially when the weather is good because there are balloons soaring over the contest site and dusk and dawn, along with some pretty good entertainment options. In nice weather, they can get up to 50,000 people at this festival.
It's also an auto-qualifier for The Jack.
The official web site (http://www.southcountyballoonfest.com) is a mixed bag, with some old applications on there. I have suggested to the organizer that they get this fixed ASAP - but the festival is on and you can get an application by emailing the organizer via the link on the KCBS site.
If you apply before the end of May, there is a discounted entry fee.
Plus ZBQ always does poorly in RI, so it's really good opportunity for someone else to go to The Jack :becky:
This contest is also in the process of being NEBS listed, so should count towards KCBS and NEBS TOY points.
