Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta 2018
Hi everyone,
I am starting this thread with the hopes of doing a group meet and greet at the 2018 Balloon fiesta. So far Dino, his brother, and friends are going. Dave, Sundance, is in also. Hopefully Dave, SuperD, can make it also.
It would be fun for others to join us. Its a great way to meet everyone we talk with on this site.
Dino and I have been e-mailing each other and the following is what we have decided to do.
THis is from Dino. He just got back from this years event.
"Ok guys, here are my thoughts...The first weekend of the Balloon Fiesta is our best bet (starts Sat, 6 Oct 2018)...We all gather at the Sandia Resort and Casino on Thursday, . That way we are all together 4 Oct NLT 2 pm (mountain time) then caravan to the South Lot together. We found that arriving on the Friday before the start is a real "cluster f&*k" at the South Lot (bonus: Thursday night is half off). Angie and I plan on staying until Monday, 8 Oct (Columbus Day Holiday)."
Campsites need to be reserved and spots are first come first served. We meet at the casino and then caravan to the cg. That way we all get sites next to
each other.
We are staying in the South Lot, Standard Site. Reservations will start this Tuesday October 24,2017.
Heres some info from their site
2018 RV Reservations will open on October 24, 2017 at 9AM MDT, online only through our website.
