ST. GEORGE — One of the premier hot air ballooning events in the Western United States is less than a month away and organizers are asking for volunteers to help with the operation and logistics of the event.
The annual “Mesquite Hot Air Balloon Festival” will take place Jan. 20-22, 2017, at the CasaBlanca Resort, Casino, Golf and Spa, 950 W. Mesquite Blvd., Mesquite, Nevada. This festival marks the sixth year that these massive, colorful hot air balloons will take to the skies over scenic southern Nevada.
Mesquite Gaming, the event organizer, stated in a news release that volunteers are vital to the smooth operation of this free, family-friendly event. Volunteers will get an up-close experience as they help crew members set up and launch a dazzling display of hot air balloons on those mornings.
Last year’s event brought about 35 hot air balloonists from many western states and parts of Canada to Mesquite.
