On Saturday, May 1, the balloon will be tethered behind the Old Ptacek’s Event Center in Prescott, 1449 Orrin St.

On Sunday, the balloon will be tethered in the City of Hampton, behind the Old Black Stallion Supper Club.

The balloon will be on site for tethered rides each evening – weather permitting – at 7 p.m. Tethered flights are free but voluntary donation swill be accepted to the Freedom Flight organization.
