Candy resides in North Little Rock and is a student pilot. Candy went for her first balloon ride in 1996 and enjoyed it so much that she bought one. This balloon became famous in central Arkansas in 1997 when it was stolen from Candy's front yard. Candy called the newspaper and local radio stations asking for help from the public. After days of radio airtime and a feature story in the paper an anonymous caller told her where she could find the trailer.
Candy enjoys going to rallies and meeting other balloon people.
He worked as a crew chief as well as booking agent. The operation in Orlando was a full service balloon company operating eight hot air balloons, cold air inflatable balloons, and airships. Jerry and Chryl were married in April 2000. Together they have attended rallies in all of the states that border Arkansas as well as Albuquerque and Canada. Don began ballooning in 1987 and purchased his first balloon the following year.
