On May 13, 14, & 15 the fourth annual Northwest Georgia Balloon Festival will take place at Tillotson Field in Menlo.  This year in addition to our vendors and carnival we will have an unusual musical act on Saturday evening just before and after the evening balloon launch.  The act is The Lacs from south Georgia.  Their latest song ," Kickin Up Mud", in climbing the Billboard charts. They characterize themselves as country/Rap artist. Plan to come see what you think of their performance.

There are some changes for vendors with a reduction in price for craft vendors to $50 for the entire weekend and a limit applied for food vendors.  All vendors are encouraged to submit your applications before May 1.  Applications are available on the web site or at city hall in Menlo.  For question call Jeremy at 706-978-0828.

Balloon launches are set for 6 AM and 6PM, weather permitting.  A glow is planned for both nights as well.  Land owners are reminded of the give away to one lucky person if a balloon lands on your land and your name is drawn at the end of the festival.
