The 2024 “Freeze Your Bippie Off” Balloon Meet occurred on February 10-11 at Post Mills Airport. The weather was unseasonably warm and the winds stayed mild, allowing pilots to fly morning and evening both days. A little propane helped ignite a very sodden bonfire, turning Saturday evening into a lovely time for communing and storytelling. Thank you to all attendees for making this fledgling event special. Special thanks to those that made and brought food, assisted with chases, and helped organize and clean up.

Jimmy Regan was the Boland Challenge winner, landing back at the airport after flying for just under an hour and just over a mile.
