NRG Media Northwoods sponsored the first-ever Local Heroes Balloon Rally that was held at The Hodag Country Festival grounds. Twenty-seven balloons from all over the country showed up and the nighttime “glow” was a big draw.
Organizers of the event thanked Duff Damos, operations manager, and the NRG team for the collaboration in promoting the First Annual Balloon Rally with interviews facilitated through NRG Media.
The organizers will donate most of the money raised to local nonprofits and Camp American Legion, which needs $30,000 to replace a cabin. Saluting Heroes and Damos are making plans for future collaborations for both the Saluting Heroes and Dairyland events in 2026.
