2010 Hot Air Jubilee Volunteers Needed (Meeting Information)- Jackson

Volunteers have been at the heart of the family-friendly Hot Air Jubilee since it began in 1983. With their help, the community will enjoy spectacular balloon launches and exciting attractions, including an exotic animal show, a pyrotechnics event featuring vintage aircraft, and the Flying Aces pro Frisbee team at this year’s event, planned for July 16-18 at Jackson County Airport.

To get the 2010 Hot Air Jubilee off to a good start, help is needed in a variety of areas, including sponsorships, food and hospitality, children’s activities, fundraising and public relations. Anyone interested in helping make this year’s event a success for the Jackson community is invited to attend the Hot Air Jubilee meetings at 5:30 p.m. on the second Tuesday of every month, at P&T Fitness, 225 N. Jackson St., Jackson, Mich. The next meeting is Feb. 9.

The Hot Air Jubilee is a three-day annual festival founded in 1983 by a local balloon pilot. The event has grown to be one of the largest festivals in Michigan. The Jubilee was twice voted the “Favorite Community Event” by readers of Jackson Magazine. The Hot Air Jubilee is a 501 (c ) (3) charitable non-profit organization composed of an all-volunteer 7-member Board of Directors and a core group of approximately 35 other volunteers. In addition to providing an affordable, fun-filled weekend for families, the Jubilee supports the Jackson area in many ways. Local civic groups and other non-profit organizations are compensated for their assistance in selling admission wristbands. Donations have been made to the Jackson Community College Flight Center, the Experimental Aircraft Association and the Jackson County Airport for the use of their facilities.

The Hot Air Jubilee also supports local businesses by purchasing everything possible for the event in Jackson County. Visit our Web site at www.hotairjubilee.com
