THIRD STRIKE WING WALKING - visit website here
Most airshow performers prefer to stay in their aircraft unless they have on a parachute, not Carol Pilon. Being of Canadian origin, Carol Pilon is presently the only wingwalker of her native country performing on the North American circuit where she has the privilege to captivate hearts, enthrall imaginations and inspire dreams. Imagine an airplane looping and rolling with beautiful Carol on the wing. It is a sight you will not soon forget.

TETHERED HOT AIR BALLOON RIDES - High Five Ballooning, visit website here
What is a tethered balloon ride?A tethered balloon ride is when the balloon is tied to the ground with three or four very strong ropes to keep the balloon from flying away. This allows us to lift and "fly" a large group of people of all ages at a specific location.
How high will you fly?
Tethered flights usually fly between 25 feet and 100 feet. The exact height is determined by a number of factorsincluding wind, terrain, location, anchor points, number of passengers, etc. The pilot will determine the exact height according to conditions at the time of the event.
