2008 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta Rally
The Four Corners Unit is planning another GREAT rally at the 2008 Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta. We will be camping beach front right on the grounds of the Balloon Fiesta. If you have never been before, this is a great opportunity to see this event close up - the balloons will be taking off yards from your front door. Check out our rally thread with lots of info on it at http://www.airforums.com/forums/f289...lly-29780.html For more information log on to Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta
The dates are to arrive Oct 3rd and leave the morning of the 7th. The cost at this point is $85 per night which INCLUDES FREE entry to all events for 2 people. There is no rally fee - just the cost of the event itself. See our website at Four Corners Airstream Camping Unit
We have 25 spots at this point - we have eight signed up (returning from last year) so seventeen are left – This event fills up fast and I need to know who is attending by the end of February, and ½ of the fee ($170) is due at that time. There is a refund policy in place in case you need to cancel later, however, I suspect we could fill the spot.
A fresh water truck and pump out service is available, however there are no elec hookups. Generators are ok and solar works great.
This is the perfect family rally so bring the kids and pets and lets have a great time at this VERY popular and NOT TO MISS event!
Please make the checks out to and send along with your e-mail address to:
Four Corners Unit
C/O Ken Johansen
P.O. Box 1554
Tijeras, NM 87059
Please let us know soon

Thanks to both of you jumping in, since we three - Ken J, Azflycaster and Lewster are the rally organizing committee - and we are three WILD and CRaaaRAZY GUYS!!!
Do you think they will find someone who can sing this year? Marshall Tucker Band played last year and it was pretty entertaining to see someone who cannot carry a tune anymore...

This is one fantansic event and the parking last year was absolutely ideal. We are returning again and hope to have our adult children fly in to enjoy it with us as well. Looking forward to it again. Thanks Ken, Richard, & Lew for organizing again. Check has been sent.
Lew: This means I'll have to get the new super quiet water pump installed by then. Any chance you will have other goodies like tire pressure monitors in stock?

Ok folks - we have a new rally event - to find Lynda a new vintage trailer - think of the possibilities - we can take ballloon rides, check all the neighborhoods, as the chase ground crew, we can check out all the backyards while chasing balloons - this is going to be fun!

I believe that you did. I recall it because it is a very odd spelling that you don't often see.
