Meet the Hamiltons

This is the first year that the Hamilton family will be coming to the Hot Air Balloon Festival at the Warren County Farmers' Fair.

Joe Hamilton the senior has been flying balloons since 1984. Now that he is retired traveling to festivals has been a priority. One of his newest festivals was the Warren County Farmers Fair last year. His bicyclist and he took second place in the bicycle race. The local fireman was a pleasure to meet. The farmers market was a fun experience and the folks that worked the festival did a great job. Can't wait to get back with Six Pack.

 

 

 

Beth Hamilton left her teaching position to balloon full time. Now that hubby is retired they are traveling more and flying in many different places. Last year at the Warren County Farmers Fair she took third place in the hound and hare race (a first). So excited to have had the opportunity to fly at the festival. It looks like this is going to be an every year event for the Hamiltons if they'll have us. She will be flying "Nothing But Air" which is a slightly smaller version of her husbands.

 

 

Joe Hamilton the senior has been flying balloons since 1984. He immediately decided to make this an up side to his regular job as chief probation officer. Now retired he is looking to fly in festivals across the country. His most memorable flight was last January, traveling from Sturbridge Village to Mansfield in Massachusetts, a distance of 60 miles in 3 hours and viewing the world from 12,500 ft. New Jersey is one of the favorite states he and his wife have flown in. The folks are great and the landing sites plentiful. Joe flies “Six Pack”, whose name can be taken many ways but truly is his passenger capability.
