I am very excited to be the new spokeswoman of this wonderful event. Since the beginning of my career, I have witnessed the progress, growth and expansion of the Balloon Festival. When I worked as Miss Météo at TQS, I had the chance to cover the festival and I have kept a lot of good memories of it. I am very happy to be part of this big family. I am also proud to represent the festival because people are eager to participate in this major event! All my areas of interest are combined: human aspect and interacting with people, outdoor activities, festivities, and spectacular balloons that are bigger than nature. Furthermore, this will be my first balloon ride. I tried many crazy activities like parachute jumping, but never a balloon ride. I cannot wait to live this unique experience! Of course, I like the cultural aspect of the festival! I am impressed and glad to see that so many international artists will be performing on our stages. What a pleasure to also see year after year great artists of our industry. I appreciate that such an important place is given to emerging artists and I appreciate this very much. It is with great pleasure that I will be attending this major festival and I invite you to the International Balloon Festival of Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, which will take place from August 8th to 16th, 2015.
