Getting the up close and personal experience with hot air balloons is just a service opportunity away. The Dinah “SOAR” Days Hot Air Balloon Festival is scheduled August 25th through the 27th in Vernal and volunteers are needed. Each hot air balloon pilot needs a crew of volunteers that help set up, launch, and pack up the balloons. Each year, thousands have attended the festival and the local economy is benefitted from visitors keeping hotels, restaurants, and gas stations busy. There are perks to volunteering, including the magical experience of seeing up close the brilliant colors and majesty of the balloons. Get signed up right away to be among the lucky volunteers. No prior experience is needed as the balloon pilots teach volunteers what they need to know. Sign up at dinahdays.com/volunteer. Questions can be directed to 435-781-6769.
