The Balloonmeister for the 7th Annual Hot Springs Chamber of Commerce Fall River Hot Air Balloon Festival in 2022 will be Tamie Shrum!

Tamie joined us last year as our Safety Officer and offers a wealth of ballooning experience! Many of you know already know Tamie as a fellow pilot and the Editor of Balloon Federation of America’s “Quick Release” publication. We are thrilled to have her leading our festival this year.

Our festival founder, Petra Wilson, is taking a break from organizing, but is still an integral part of our event. We want to sincerely thank Petra for everything she has done for our festival in getting it up and running!
