‘Zebras’ wanted

LEWISTON — A new division of crew has been developed at the Great falls Balloon Festival to help the balloon launches go off easier. “Zebras” will be used for traffic control from the launch sites and will be responsible to see that the fields are secure and safe, not only for the pilots but the audience as well.

Zebras will be identified with reflective vests with zebra material on the vest. These people will be on the grounds half-hour before and during each launch to help expedite chase crew movement on and existing the launch sites. Approximately 15 volunteers are needed to take on the Zebra role during the festival.

To volunteer, call 782-2637 and leave a name and phone number. Zebra volunteers must be 16 years old or older.
