WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) â A new version of an old favorite returns to Central Wisconsin this weekend.
The inaugural Taste âN Glow Balloon Fest is set for this weekend, July 9th through the 11th at the Trailmates Snowmobile Club grass drag in the Town of Stettin. The event was put together by local hot air balloon enthusiasts after Wausau Events canceled its âBalloon and Rib Festâ for the second time in two years, citing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
Two of the driving forces behind the event have been Steve and Nancy Woller, who have been planning it since February of 2021. While the event will feature some old favorites from the previous version like balloon rides and a couple of rib vendors, Balloonmister Steve Woller says the event has a very different feel.

Wausau City Council Approves Sponsorship of the Taste N Glow Balloon Fest By Liz Holbrook

WAUSAU, WI (WSAU) A retooled local event will receive some additional sponsorship money from a familiar source.
Tuesday evening the Wausau City Council considered a resolution to modify the City’s 2021 budget to approve a $10,000 sponsorship with the Taste N’ Glow Balloon Fest. The balloon rally and food festival is similar to Wausau Events annual Balloon and Rib Fest but is being held by independent organizers after Wausau Events cancelled their 2021 event.
The sponsorship was approved unanimously earlier that evening by the City’s Finance Committee. The Finance Committee heard from event organizers Steve and Nancy Woller about the changes to the event including its location and more local focus.
