Here at Endeavor Ballooning we love fun and colorful shaped hot air balloons! We have a few special shaped balloons you can read more about below!
The balloons are primarily for international and domestic events, but also local community outreach.
Built by Aerostar International in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, this 750-pound balloon is a
community favorite! It holds 130,000 cubic feet of hot air and features a cow, horse, pig,
farmer and full silo. Endeavor Ballooning would like to personally thank the American
Farmer for their tireless work feeding our great nation!
Also built by Aerostar International, our giant pumpkin shaped balloon was originally
built for the "Seasons Balloon Team." This team included a summer sun, a spring daisy
and a winter snowman. Ms. Autumn holds 93,000 cubic feet of hot air and weighs 500
pounds. With her massive green stem this balloon stands nearly 5 stories tall.
Built by Cameron Balloons in Dexter, Michigan, Bud is ballooning's only "extreme
makeover." He was originally built as Mr. Potato Head. A few years later the balloon
was re-born as a fun-loving beaver. He has since traveled the world to places such as
Japan, Thailand, New Zealand and beyond. Bud holds 132,000 cubic feet of hot air
and weighs in at 700 pounds.
Built by Aerostar International, Intelligent Design is the newest addition to the Endeavor
Ballooning fleet! It was originally designed by a neurosurgeon (imagine that!) who
wanted to showcase the incredible intricacies of the human brain. Intelligent Design is
considered to be one of the most complex special shape balloons ever built, and weighs
in at a whopping 1,100 pounds!
