This week on What's Up Wednesday, another round of new and exciting items, and a couple of shopping reminders as we drop below the 2 month mark until Balloon Fiesta 2025.

First up, a new addition to the collectable pin line. For the first time ever, we have produced a Drone Show pin for your enjoyment. You see the lights of the drones lifting into the air forming 3 balloons in the sky. And best of all, the pin glows in the dark. This pin is sure to be a big hit, so don't delay, order today.

While our Christmas in July sale is over, that doesn't mean we can't look forward. Check out this Balloon Fiesta custom painted glass ornament. Featuring balloons in flight over the river with the mountains in the background, you'll want a set of these adorning your tree this year.And did we mention each ornament is hand painted on the inside, making each one unique. Comes with a velvet red box for storage, this will be an heirloom item for generations.

Our third new item this week is a long-sleeved southwest unisex t-shirt. Dark brown, the design on the front is tan, and turquoise resembling a sand painting. The left sleeve features the 2025 theme, Painted Horizons, in a matching southwestern pattern. We think this shirt will be a go-to item in everyone's wardrobe. 

With just 58 days before the big event, time is running out to get your general admission tickets at a discount. Save $2 per ticket when you purchase 4 or more in person at our Gift Shop in Albuquerque. This discount offer expires on Labor Day.
