The crews at the Lodge at Sherwood Village and Dream Catchers want to give locals a bird’s eye view of Sequim this September.
The Lodge is offering a special event, hot air balloon rides, starting at 8 a.m. on Wednesday, September 4, in the field north of the Sequim Community Church at 1000 N. Fifth Ave.
The Dream Catcher Balloon is a unique hot air balloon designed for rides by everyone, including people with limited mobility, seniors, veterans and others.
The two-seater balloon allows for easy entry without having to climb over a basket.

“The Dream Catcher balloon is … designed so that anyone can ride, no matter who you are,” said Captain Crystal, pilot and owner of the Dream Catcher balloon.
“We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that keeps the dream alive through donations from individuals and businesses.”
The rides cost $25, with checks made payable to Dream Catchers Balloon.
Please call 360-681-3100 to reserve. (Note: Balloon rides are subject to weather conditions.)
Participants are asked to park in the church parking lot.
