Fantasia Balloon

Fantasia Balloon

Owners, Jim and Eileen Neill and family of Riverwoods, Illinois, donated their Fantasia balloon to the Museum.

Included in the exhibit are original artworks and Fantasia memorabilia designed by the Neill’s.

Fantasia was one of the first special artwork balloons built by Tracy Barnes and the Barnes Balloon factory. Its design represents the very essence of life and the Neill family.
