DC hot air balloon festival was fun!

Gordana Richardson

Sep 22, 2022

We were there at Hot Air Baloon event which was an incredible rip-off. They charge 20 $ to get in and you get basically nothing. The kids play zone was not secured, they literally had those air filled bounce houses not tied to the ground. Some kids in Australia died when the strong wind blew and lifted the houses up in the air so, you would think that hot air balloon event would take that seriously no? They even had a guy make sure your child pays 20$ to get in the bounce house, but they didn't bother securing them or make sure kids over age limit don't get in and hurt smallwr kids. Anyways, never again. Absolutely horrendous event!

Questions & Answers

How do I apply to work in the fair ?

Damngeraldo | Oct 13, 2018
Susana Ruiz | Oct 13, 2019

3 weeks before the fair opens you go on that Saturday you fill out a registration form with your name and address and at what time you arrived at at what department you want to help at if you arrive before 9:00 am you get a free lunch ticket and you don't sign out until you finish eating that you go home. If you don't want to get ssl hours you can just go to get volunteer hours you need 200 hours to go in free for life it's either one or the other I prefer my kids to get the volunteer hours and for them to go somewhere else to get their ssl hours you can start at 13 years old to volunteer and if you have younger siblings they can join also.
