Sponsors are sought for the Great Reno
Balloon Race Sept. 6-8.
The nonprofit event is free to the public
because businesses and other sponsors
cover its costs.
Sponsorship packages are available to
fulfill the needs of businesses and individual
groups.
"Our stability and our ability to continue
is directly linked to our major sponsors,"
said Great Balloon Race President
Amy Bennett.
For sponsorship information, contact
(775) 829-2810.
The Great Reno Balloon Race has
drawn visitors from around the world for
more than 20 years.
More than 100 balloonists are expected
at this year's event at Rancho San Rafael
Regional Park, said Bennett.
Last year, more than 130,000 people
attended the balloon races, and thousands
more hosted events related to the races.
The races begin at 6:30 a.m. each day.
On Saturday and Sunday, a Glow Show at
5 a.m. and a Dawn Patrol at 5:30 a.m.
kick off the day's activities.
