International Balloon Fiesta: Day Three 🎈🎈🎈

Let's start this week with high spirits!

Streaming starts at 6 am, before liftoff ☀️

Here's a bit of history to go along with the Fiesta:

"On September 19, 1783 Pilatre De Rozier, a scientist, launched the first hot air balloon called ‘Aerostat Reveillon’. The passengers were a sheep, a duck and a rooster and the balloon stayed in the air for a grand total of 15 minutes before crashing back to the ground.

The first manned attempt came about 2 months later on November 21st, with a balloon made by 2 French brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfier. The balloon was launched from the centre of Paris and flew for a period of 20 minutes. The birth of hot air ballooning!!!

Just 2 years later in 1785 a French balloonist, Jean Pierre Blanchard, and his American co pilot, John Jefferies, became the first to fly across the English Channel. In these early days of ballooning, the English Channel was considered the first step to long distance ballooning so this was a large benchmark in ballooning history.

Unfortunately, this same year Pilatre de Rozier (the world’s first balloonist) was killed in his attempt at crossing the channel. His balloon exploded half an hour after takeoff due to the experimental design of using a hydrogen balloon and hot air balloon tied together."

Well, there's no progress without sacrifice 🤷‍♂️

🏛 Freedom of Speech Week: October 19th to 25th 📜

With everything going on in the country right now, we thought it would be best to remind everyone: 🎤 Public Access IS a free speech platform!

‼️ This is more than just a simple Call to Action: our Constitutional and Human Rights are under attack by an administration that would destroy what a democracy stand for: freedom of expression, worship, press, civil union...protest.

Use the studio, elevate your voice, build your platform: everyone is invited.

Channel 26 is a Free speech zone! Have something to say? Say it now, because 👏 All 👏 OF 👏 YOU may never get this chance again.
