Balloonist Maria Harrison lifts life of ballooning high
Vicki Harrison, 36, runs a ballooning business from rural Ringoes New Jersey. She pilots corporate balloons for ads and offers flights from 60 to 220 dollars. Her passion began with airplanes, but ballooning started in 1973 after a balloon landed on her 11 acre farm. She balances work with family, sometimes aided by her 14 year old daughter Cindy, and even made a memorable landing in a supermarket parking lot.
