Buy Local....Fly Local

Both of the companies listed in this November 13th, 2006 article are companies that are not locally owned. 

1-800-SKY-RIDE is a ticket broker and owns NO HOT AIR BALLOONS.  They contract with local pilots to fly their flights.  If no one in your area honors your certificate, you may have to travel quite a distance.

Great American Balloon Company is not local to the Lake Geneva area.  The company owns Sunbird Balloons and 5 other locations in 3 other states.

If you desire to fly the Lake Geneva area, The Lake Geneva Balloon Company is the only “locally owned” and operated balloon company in Lake Geneva.  Our company is celebrating it’s 5th Anniversary in Lake Geneva and it’s owners John & Cheryl Trione have resided in the area for over 16 years.
