🎈 Meet Pilot Derek Hancock & Evergreen 🎈

For Derek Hancock, ballooning started as a simple curiosity… and turned into a lifelong adventure that’s taken him around the world. After crewing for a friend in the mid-90s, one flight was all it took — he was hooked. Instead of moving to Phoenix for a corporate job, Derek made a bold choice that changed everything: he took the layoff package, bought a balloon, and never looked back. ✨

What followed has been an incredible career in the skies — flying since 1996, logging over 3,500 flight hours, and piloting balloons in more than 16 countries around the world. 🌍🎈

And now, Derek and Evergreen return to Tigard once again as part of the festival family! 🎉

🎈 Balloon: Evergreen
🔥 180,000 cubic feet
🔥 70 gallons of propane
🔥 2 burners
🎈 3,541 LTA flight hours
🎉 5th year at TFOB
❤️ Wife: Maureen

🌅 Want to take your festival experience to the next level? Evergreen is also offering paid passenger rides all weekend through Rose Balloons — giving guests the chance to float above Tigard and experience the magic firsthand. 🎈✨

As we continue Growing Our Legacy, Derek’s story is a reminder that sometimes the biggest life changes come from the smallest moments — like that first flight.

Come see Derek Hancock and Evergreen soar June 26–28 at the Tigard Festival of Balloons! 🎈✨

🎈 Meet Pilot Justin Anderson & Sea Breeze 🎈

What started as a curious kid watching balloons drift across the Walla Walla skies turned into a lifelong dream taking flight. Since first joining balloon crews in 1998, Justin Anderson spent more than TWO decades learning the art of ballooning before officially becoming a pilot in 2024. Now, he’s bringing that same excitement and inspiration to communities across the Pacific Northwest — just like the pilots who inspired him years ago. ✨

And this year marks a huge milestone… it’s Justin and Sea Breeze’s FIRST appearance at the Tigard Festival of Balloons! 🎉

🎈 Balloon: Sea Breeze
🔥 90,000 cubic feet

❤️ (Shoutout to partner John for keeping things grounded!)

As we continue Growing Our Legacy, Justin’s story is a reminder that dreams built over time — with passion, patience, and community support — can truly soar.

Get ready to look WAY up when Daybreak launches into the skies at this year’s festival! At an incredible 250,000 cubic feet, this giant balloon carries 8–12 passengers at a time and is sure to be a breathtaking sight over Tigard. ✨

Today, Raphy flies more than 100 flights a year and has already logged around 600 hours in the air! 🎈🔥

And this year marks an exciting milestone — it’s Raphy and Daybreak’s FIRST appearance at the Tigard Festival of Balloons! 🎉
