Hot dogs and hamburgers for breakfast? Why not! When you can't fly, it's time to picnic. Thanks to everyone who hung out with this am.

Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta's Pilot Hospitality Tent (October)
Fiesta Hospitality Tent Coordinators: Carol Bair & Nancy Zink
Hosting the Pilot Hospitality Tent is AAAA's way of welcoming all the out-of-town pilots as well as offering an added benefit to all of our members during Fiesta.
Can't help out most of the year? Here's a wonderful opportunity to pitch in and assist all those eager and tired(!) pilots early in the morning before launch for any or all days of Fiesta! We provide coffee, hot chocolate, fruit, and BREAKFAST munchies as well as our famous hospitality. It's a great way to meet pilots from other areas and to share AAAA's enthusiasm for our sport!
We also need volunteers early in the morning before the tent opens to carry coffee pots and food to and from the tent from storage. You won't be asked to serve food. We only need your help from 4:45 am to 6:15 am. You will be done in time to make it to pilot briefing.
Please help us by volunteering for ONE DAY during Balloon Fiesta!
