What's Up Wednesday, July 2, 2025 #180

Ken Tuley ·

This week on What's Up Wednesday, it's Christmas in July, a final blowout of 2024 merchandise as we need room for 2025 stuff.

Every year, we create merchandise specifically for that year's event. We put the year and/or the theme on the items, and we order enough, hopefully, to be able to accommodate everyone's wishes and sizes. However, it's impossible to guess exactly how many of each item and size to order. At the end of the event, we have extras. While we have put many of these items on sale since the event, now is the time to finally clear it all out, as the 2025 merchandise is arriving daily and we need the room!

We have put most all of the remaining 2024 merchandise on rock bottom sales prices. To make it easier to shop, we even created a special category for our Christmas in July sale. Click the button to browse the category or select it from the menu on the main store page.

When you go shopping, you'll find the 2024 Event Tee and Event Jacket, a hoodie, and full zip jacket, a number of different caps, and visors. Actually, there are a number of other clothing items on the list as well, including more tees, and the last of the sponsor, pilot, and navigator jackets. Sizes and quantities are limited. The 2024 magnets, keychains, ornaments, and mousepads are also on the list. Shop early for best selection. 

Quick shopping note. Our physical gift shop will be closed on Friday, July 4. Online remains open, but orders placed on Friday won't be processed until Monday.

Next week on What's Up Wednesday, we'll preview this year's official poster. It's scheduled for release in 2 weeks.

Finally, have a great, fun, and SAFE 4th of July and as always, Thanks for your support of Balloon Fiesta and Balloon Fiesta Stuff.
