SARC's 2nd Annual Rising Above It Balloon Festival Balloon Glow Gala

The Balloon Glow Gala takes place at Maryland Golf & Country Clubs and features the magical world of Oz. Several hot-air balloons will be lighted and will “glow” (weather permitting) during the evening, illuminating the area around the gala.

The evening features music, dancing, dinner, open bar and a signature “ruby slippers” drink. Entertainment includes the Craig Sparks Band, magician Dick Steiner and a live auction featuring a balloon ride for two, a one-week stay in Myrtle Beach and a day of beauty at Merle Norman.

Harford Mutual is the title sponsor of the Balloon Glow Gala.
