Welcome to the Adam Matthews Balloon Festival - September 2006
Description
First launched in 1999 the Adam Matthews Balloon Festival has quickly become the largest Balloon event in Kentucky. For years local pilots gathered to give back to the community by having a year end glow at Bowman Field. When the local event was cancelled due to the lack of funds, Adam Burckle, the founder of Adam Matthews, came up with an idea that led to this festival.
The first year there were 52 balloons that attended. Many were local with some pilots coming from far across America. In our first year we raised $20,000 for the Dream Factory, an organization that helps grant wishes to children with life threatening illnesses.
In our second year, 2000, 70 balloons from across America gathered to help make the event a spectacular festival. As a matter of fact the entry was limited to 70 balloons with a waiting list.
