A Huge THANK YOU from all of us at FLOAT!

The 2009 FLOAT Convention was a great success, and we owe it all to everyone who supported the event. Every delegate, instructor, crew member and sponsor was vital to making it the success that it was, and we couldn't have done it without you all! So from the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.

The Rumors are TRUE!

Christopher Horne, the amazing balloon designer from jolly ole England, has agreed to be an instructor at the 2010 Convention! This talented individual hasn't taught here in the United States for several years, and FLOAT is proud to be able to bring him to you, thanks in part to our friends at Anagram. So make sure you get signed up as soon as you can so as not to miss this rare occasion here in the US.

As always, changes are a-foot at FLOAT!

You've offered your suggestions, and we've listened to you. You've put together your wish lists and we've worked as many of them into the mix as we can. And this coming year, FLOAT will see many new changes such as:

*New Dates - Now held during the week so you don't have to sacrifice weekends

*New Website - Coming soon at www.floatconvention.com

*Simpler Pricing Structure - Now one fee gets you to all the regular classes

*More Meals - Three lunches are now included with you registration along with the Final Night Dinner

*More Convention Space - Which means FLOAT will offer more services during the event

*An Earlier Start Time for Final Night

And more! Stay tuned for more adjustments and announcements to be made for this coming year's event.
