Balloon Festival 2010This will be the 29th year for balloons to take flight over the rolling hills and farms of Coshocton County, Ohio. The Frontier Power Hot Air Balloon Festival will be Friday, June 11 through Sunday, June 13, with launches and fly-ins taking place at the Coshocton County Fairgrounds located at 707 Kenilworth Avenue in Coshocton. Admission and entertainment are free. A full slate of fun and entertainment will also take

place over the weekend at the Fairgrounds. Visitors can enjoy midway attractions, craft booths, carnival rides, fireworks, photo contest, kiddie tractor pull, 5K race, nightglow, musical entertainment, food vendors and many other family-oriented activities. On Friday night, enjoy free musical entertainment by Timothy Paul from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. and the fireworks to follow. Saturday night, Phil Dirt and the Dozers will perform at 7:30 p.m. with the popular balloon ‘Night Glow’ to follow. Balloon launches and fly-ins will take place (weather permitting) on Friday, June 11 from 6 - 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, June 12, from 6 - 7:30 a.m. and again from 6 - 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, June 13, from 6 - 7:30 a.m. Kelly Kendall, Manager of Administration and Office Services at the Frontier Power Company, is pleased that Frontier Power is able to sponsor the Balloon Festival again this year. “We feel the balloon festival

is wonderful for our entire community and the surrounding area,” she said. “We are happy to continue our sponsorship so it remains a free event. And we are fortunate that we are in a position to do so.” Kendall says Frontier Power is involved in several ways with the event. “Frontier Propane provides the propane used for the balloons to take flight,” she said. “Also, many of our employees are happy to help throughout the weekend by working in the tee-shirt/information tent, being part of balloon crews and anything else they are asked to do. As soon as this year’s festival is over, we’ll have a wrap-up meeting then start plans for 2011!” Carol Remington, Executive Director of the Coshocton Chamber of Commerce says the balloon sponsorships have been wonderful. “So far we have 25 balloons coming to participate,” said Remington. “And we are so pleased that Frontier Power is our major corporate sponsor again this year. They also donate the propane for the balloons.” Remington says that this is the longest continuously running hot air balloon festival in Ohio and that the balloon pilots love coming to Coshocton. “Hot air balloons have a way of creating happiness and putting a smile on faces,” said Remington. “Plus the event is wonderful for our local tourism. It brings in hundreds, if not thousands of visitors to Coshocton each year. Many families near and far enjoy taking advantage of this fun, free event.” For more information about the Frontier Power Hot Air Balloon Festival, go to www.VisitCoshocton.com or call (740) 622-5411.

Frontier Power sponsors Balloon Festival for past four yearsThe annual Coshocton County Balloon Festival would not have been possible without the continued support of The Frontier Power Company. Four years ago, The Frontier Power Company received a flier in the mail from the Coshocton County Chamber of Commerce asking for businesses to help sponsor the Balloon Festival. It said that without sponsors, the event would eventually have to be canceled due to lack of funding. Frontier Power immediately took charge and has sponsored the event for the past four years. Now, they allow the Balloon Festival as part of their budget each year. The event is completely free of charge. This includes parking, admission and all entertainment. The only cost is for rides and food and drink. The Balloon Festival has always been a family-fun event and it’s always fun to see those balloons shooting up into the night sky. “It’s something different,” said Kelly Kendall at Frontier Power, “How often can you see 25 balloons go up at the same time? How often can you sit in your backyard and see a balloon fly over. It kind of takes you back.” The balloon committee at Frontier Power has meetings year-round. They start their annual meetings about a week after the Balloon Festival and discuss what went well this year and how they can improve next year. The committee works like a well-oiled machine. Everyone does their part to ensure the success of the festival. Not only does Frontier Power sponsor the festival, their employees volunteer their time and services each year. Whether it’s volunteering on the balloon committee or helping with the balloon ground crew or at the t-shirt tent, the employees really go above and beyond the call of duty because they really believe in this event. Frontier Propane also provides propane for the pilots. For more information on The Frontier Power Company, visit their Web site at www.frontier-power.com.

Ballooning according to Ken:An exclusive interview with local balloonist, Ken Cramer

Q) How long do hot air balloons usually last?A) It’s made out of rip-stop nylon and it depends on when it was built, where it was built, what nylon fabric they purchased and from whom they purchased as to how well that holds up, and also the colors that are involved. I have a balloon that was built in the late 1980s and it had a black color that was in it and that particular year that that was built, they used a dye in that fabric that actually disintegrated. It just fell apart after a while and it actually caused the fabric to wear out faster than the other colors in the rest of the envelope. On average, you should be able to get about 300 – 400 hours of flight time on a balloon before you have to do any major replacement of the envelope. Q) Can you repair a balloon or do you have to replace it completely?A) Sometimes it doesn’t make sense to repair it. Sometimes it would make sense to just replace it. It just depends on where the wear is. When they make the rip-stop nylon for a balloon, there’s a coating that’s put on the inside that closes off all those holes so it holds the hot air inside that bag much better. When that starts to break down, then that means there’s starting to be opening again and a way for the hot air to get out of the envelope faster than when it was brand new. The closer you get to the death of a balloon envelope means typically that the coating is just wearing off, so there’s nothing that’s really stopping that hot air from going out as fast as it’s going in. The other thing that you do is take a look at fuel consumption. If your fuel consumption is really going up, where you’re using a whole lot more fuel now to get an hour flight in than what you did a few years ago, then clearly what’s happening is that coating is wearing off and the balloon just can’t hold that hot air like it used to. If that’s true throughout the entire envelop, then you’re probably better

off just replacing the envelope. Most of the heat is from the center line of the envelope to the top. Therefore, that’s where the concentration of the hottest temperature is in the top of the balloon. Typically, that will wear out faster.

Q) How do balloons fly?A) The principle is simple. Hot air rises. So you create hot air. Everybody uses propane fuel. Creating a lot of hot air and when the envelope reaches a temperature high enough over the ambient temperature, you’re going to get lift which means that it will pick up the weight, the envelope will pick up the basket and any weight that’s attached. Depending on how much heat is in there, will also regulate how fast you go up and how far you’ll go up. If you stop burning, and as the envelope cools, and it comes closer and closer to the ambient temperature, you’re going to lose lift and you’ll come down to the ground. The next thing that you take a look at in terms of actual flying is how to direct it and how to control it. And the way in which that happens is that before you leave the ground you have a pretty good feel as to what direction the wind is coming from. There’s more steerage or more variation in the morning than there is in the evening. It’s a lot more fun to fly in the morning because there’s a lot more steerage.

Q) How do you steer a balloon?A) Depending on the altitude you are flying at, you will have some influences from the ground. Around here for example there are a lot of rivers and large water courses and they actually create wind. They create currents fairly close to the surface but actually off the surface a little ways. If you get down to one of these rivers and you’re twenty feet off the ground it’ll move you right along. You just follow right along with the river. The other thing is that there’s a whole lot of hills around here and valleys, so there’s a whole lot of exchanges going on. If you have a

couple hills that have been heated a lot by the sun as it comes up in the morning, that valley’s really cool air. What’s happening is that there starts to become an exchange that occurs. So that creates current and you can play with that. It can cause you to get some right and some left that you normally wouldn’t get. There’s a lot of things like that you can play with that’ll help you steer. But the big thing is that at different altitudes you will get variations of predominant direction of steerage. You try to get stopped in a current that’s taking you in the direction you want.

Q) What kind of weather conditions are preferred for a good flight?A) Basically, you can’t have any thunderstorms, not only in the immediate area but actually anything within about 75 miles, you’re paying a lot of attention to. If you have a thunderstorm that’s 100 miles away but it’s moving 40 miles an hour, it can be on top of you by the time you finish your flight and that’s not good. So you have to pay attention to more than just the immediate area you’re flying in. You have to look quite a ways away. Winds really shouldn’t be more than 10 miles an hour on the surface. Because we’re most vulnerable when we’re first trying to take off or when we’re trying to land. So your surface winds you want to get as close to nothing as possible. Now, we certainly know how to land in high winds. That’s part of your training. You learn how to do that. But all that really is a control crash landing.

Q) What are you looking forward to at this year’s festival?A) Well I’m looking forward to good weather so we can fly the whole weekend. I’m really looking forward to it.
