Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall, but this one of a kind special shape hot-air balloon may be headed for Gainesville’s balloon fest coming the last weekend in September. The festival is presented by the North Texas Medical Center Foundation which is looking for a sponsor to adopt this balloon as well as three additional special shape balloons. The specialty balloons cost $2,500 each to bring to the Gainesville festival. Potential sponsors should contact Kristi Rigsby at NTMC, (940) 612-8607. If all four specialty balloons are adopted the festival will have secured 20 balloons for the event. The “Off the Wall” balloon pictured above is owned by Jeff Haliczer of Reno, Nevada.
