Some hoping Spirit of Boise Balloon Classic helps community through difficult year
Hot air balloons will take over the skies of Boise Sept. 2-6.
It's an event many long-time Boise residents can't imagine life without.
"Being a local kid myself, this is something I didn't even know was one central event. Just something I thought happened in Boise every day," said Mateo from 103.5 KISS FM.
People involved in this year's event, like Mateo, have high hopes that it will help our community through a difficult year.
"It's something that especially right now while we're all so distanced can bring an entire community together," Mateo said.
CBS2 is proud to join Townsquare Media and CapEd Credit Union in sponsoring the event.
Make no mistake -- the community's health and safety is the top priority.
"We're feeling great about it, we're going to follow all the guidelines, we're excited to bring a bit of energy and hope to the community," Mateo said.
Organizers of the spirit of Boise are meeting with city and health officials to talk about how they can make the event safe for everyone involved.
As those details are released, we'll share them with you.
