Rick, when you go this year, ask about the "no pets" policy on festival grounds.
Looks like they can stay with the RV but it does not describe how restricted it
is for walking and exercising pets.
"Are pets allowed at Balloon Fiesta Park?
No, except handicap assisting pets."
Also, check the distance between Standard RV parking and the balloon area.
Thanks.

The RV Parking rules read pets must be on a leash at all times. They are
allowed but I want to know what constitutes the Balloon Fiesta Park versus all
other areas.

They let kids walk around freely but make you put pets on a leash?

Here's the Pets policy as stated in my 2009 information packet I got after
reserving my spot:
Pets: Keep all pets on leashes at all times. Pet litter must be cleaned up bu
owners (in bold print). Pets are not allowed on the Ballon Launch Field and
care should be ataken during launches, as some pets become frightened by the
sound of balloon burners.
So YOU CAN HAVE PETS AT THE BALLOON FESTIVAL, just not on the launch grounds.
I'm taking mine.

Here's further clarification from the RV site coordinator of the ABF:
Pets are permitted EVERYPLACE OUTSIDE the entrance gates where you would give
you admission tickets. This is the area encompassing the launch field, the
concession area and the rest of the small fenced in area surrounding the launch
field. ALL RV parking areas ARE OPEN to LEASHED pets. The Balloon Museum may
allow pets, but they have their own rules and I did not check with them. Pets
are PROBABLY okay on the museum grounds outside the museum.
As a further bit of info, there are still STANDARD sites available for the
entire festival, and limited parking (typically for Oct 5, 6 & 7 nights) in all
the rest of the RV areas. Even Presidential and VIP parking has openings, but
for limited duration.
I hope this clears up any confusion.
