The Lake Red Rock Balloon Festival Committee is searching for new sponsors as it looks to expand the festival in its third year this summer. Committee member Matt Kissinger tells KNIA/KRLS News that sponsors get to meet the balloonist they’re sponsoring at a dinner before the event, and they also can help launch the balloon.
Kissinger explains that the balloonists are very thankful for sponsor support and try to make sure sponsors are as involved as they want to be. He adds that sponsors can be businesses or even families. Kissinger says that many of their sponsors are back again this year, but they need more so they can add more balloons to the event.
