2024 will be the 59th year of this event, making it the world's longest, continuously running balloon event. This is a fun fly for PCA members but anyone can join the club to attend the event. There are generally 35-40 balloons registered for the event and the city area is surrounded by plowed fields, allowing for choices for landing.

Events for the weekend include; burrito potluck breakfast, tissue paper balloon flying, Saturday night BBQ dinner, pilot and crew talent challenge, dawn patrol and more.
