Welcome to the home of the Corn Palace Balloon Club
original water color by Rich Stedman
We are a new, fully certified 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation,
dedicated to preserving and exhibiting the special shaped hot-air balloons
formerly associated with the Soukup & Thomas International Balloon
& Airship Museum in Mitchell, South Dakota.
We also hold the national contract to fly the Toshiba America hot-air balloon.
Last year our pilots flew in over 3 dozen rallies, 12 states and 2 foreign countries.

Ron Behrmann took this terrific photo of Chesty, Chic-I-Boom, and Uncle Sam in Albuquerque. |
If you would like us to fly at your balloon event, drop us a note. We'd like to talk to you about your event. Fees can vary greatly, depending upon whether we can route to other nearby rallies, equipment transportation costs, and other factors. Information on how to get hold of us is further down the page.
There is an 80% chance that if you visit a balloon pilot's house, he will be watching the weather channel.
