WHAT'S NEW?

This really big prize is as exciting to enjoy as it is to win. You get a gift certificate for one passenger for a Champagne Hot Air Balloon Adventure to fly in Vermont or Maine. Fully transferable and never expires.

New England's #1 professional balloon team. Established in 1983, Balloons Over New England specializes in first class balloon adventures. Their champagne trips take 2 1/2 - 3 hours with an average of a little over an hour aloft. Your pilot will be your guide and host your continental breakfast or sunset snack after landing, pouring champagne and joining you in celebrating the adventure of your life. Flying year-round, their launch sites are in Quechee, VT and in the Kennebunk, ME region.

Balloons Over New England's chief pilots, Gary and Ken Lovell, are two of New England's most experienced pilots. They have been involved in several balloon record undertakings, including holding the current record for crossing the United States. They also helped build the world's largest hot air balloon, have flown from Quechee, Vermont non-stop to Maine, and once flew over Mt. Washington in February.
