Northeast Hot Air RV'ers

We are sad to report that we have lost another long-time committee member and founding member of our club.

For many years, Deb could be found directing traffic at the gate and yelling to anyone without their parking pass to “drive around”. Her most recent committee role was as the club treasurer.

Her most important role was as our friend.

She will be missed. Godspeed, Deb.

Celebrate the life of Debbie Sokol and join others in sharing memories, stories, and condolences.

The committee is sorry to report that the location we thought we would be able to use for camping this year is no longer available due to insurance issues.

We will keep trying to find a location for next year, but there will be no club camping for 2025.

As the shapes are being announced, we wanted to remind everyone that our Crew Training event is this Saturday at 9am in front of the Floyd Bennett Memorial Airport in Queensbury, NY. The forecast is looking nice, come find out how you can help as these balloons need a lot of helping hands! Without the help, they will not be able to fly!

No Balloon Festival camping for 2024 -

Despite the valiant efforts of the committee members, the Northeast Hot Air RV'ers will not be camping at the 2024 Adirondack Balloon Festival.

We have been advised that construction has begun on the field and we will be unable to camp at the airport this year.

Unfortunately, we were unable to secure an alternate location.

All 2024 memberships are being refunded. Refunds may take 7-10 days to process.

We have already begun looking at options for 2025.

Thank you to all who took the time to respond to our email.
Huge shoutout to our committee for their tireless efforts to try to make the event happen this year!

It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our dear friend and one of the founding members of the Northeast Hot Air RV’ers, Darlene Hogan.

Darlene was the club’s secretary until just recently. She was the voice behind the club emails, and the friendly, smiling face that was always present at the check-in tent until last year.

She was a great friend, and an even better person. She will truly be missed.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Fly high, Darlene.
