Can anyone recommend a place to arrange a balloon ride in Maine?

I found lots of sites, but if anyone has a recommendation, I would love to support a business with a history of making customers happy.

You might consider going to a balloon festival like [this one](http://www.greatfallsballoonfestival.org/). Seeing other balloons in the air with you makes it more fun.

Try to get an AM ride if you can- the air is usually calmer then. Cooler temps, too.

Thank you. However, I have a week-end party arrange for another date.
