Waco balloon pilot wins Rookie of the Year title
Waco resident Ron Frusher, president of Balloon Operations for Curves International, placed seventh at the 2008 U.S. National Hot Air Balloon Championship that ended Monday in Anderson, S.C., and was named Rookie of the Year.
You might recall that last year’s national championships were held in Waco. San Angelo’s Joe Heartsill defended the national title he won here, becoming the fifth pilot to win back-to-back crowns.

A dream is to ride in a hot air balloon and photograph from above. I’m looking for places close to Waco where they give rides. Any ideas?

Contact the owner of Curves. That’s his hobby, and you may talk to him into taking you along…
