The North 40 Fields will billow with activity Saturday and Sunday morning when 24 hot air balloons take flight for the 2018 Autumn Aloft Hot Air Bal- loon Festival. The launches will start at 8 a.m., depending on the weather, and event organizer Meisha Ross recommends that attendees arrive between 7:30 and 7:45 a.m. The event’s intent is to celebrate the start of autumn in Park City, and the public is invited to mingle among the balloons and talk with their pilots as they prepare for the launches. “They are happy to explain what they are doing, which gives people a better understanding of how a hot air balloon works,” Ross said. “Some of the pilots may even ask bystanders for some help with the preparation.” If people want to be more than a bystander, they can volunteer to help during the festival, Ross said. “It takes 24 volunteers each day of the event to make sure it goes well,” she said. “Volunteers welcome guests and help with balloon support. And balloon support is where volunteers get to work hands-on with the pilots and learn the mechanics of the hot air balloon.” Heber-based entertainer Dave Gremler, known as DJ Hitman, will also add some tunes and commentary to the launches, Ross said. Not only does Gremler work the table, he knows a little about the balloons, too. “If you listen to his announcements, you will hear him talking in depth about what the pilots are doing to prepare for their launch,” Ross said. “He kind of gives a behind-the-scenes commentary, so people can learn about the why and what about hot air balloons.” Hot chocolate and coffee will be offered for free, and Salt Lake City phoPlease see Autumn, C-2 As Peace House grows, more help needed Monthly training gets shelter’s volunteers up to speed SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Peace House, a local nonprofit that serves victims of domestic violence, is getting a bigger home. And with a bigger home comes a need for more volunteers. To get more hands on deck, Peace House holds a free volunteer training session every second Friday of the month in the Mountainlands Community Housing Trust board room, 1960 Sidewinder Drive, Suite 106. The next session is set to run from 4:30-8 p.m. on Friday, Sept. 14. Anyone interested can register by emailing Smith at jill@peacehouse.org or visiting peacehouse.org. Last year Peace House sheltered 94 people for more than 2,700 nights total “We also answered 641 calls for help through our crisis hotline, and we provided more than 2,400 hours of individual therapy,” Tauber said. The registration, which is free and will be accepted through the day of the session, helps volunteer coordinator Jill Smith plan the training sessions, which include dinner. Trainees will come to understand the people who seek out Peace House for help and learn the necessary skills to assist them, according to Smith. “There are many women, children and men in our community who are moving Please see Peace, C-2 COURTESY OF PEACE HOUSE Volunteers help Peace House in various ways.
