Ballooning events make money from the $35 that everyone pays to attend. Most of it goes to pay for the venue and the ingredients for the food, but anything that’s left over goes to the Ballooning group that hosted the Ballooning event.
They use it for things like: events that operate at a loss, buying balloons to give to new Ballooneers, buying an air pump for use at future Ballooning gatherings.
But anyways, I obfuscated Ballooning because I’d rather talk about the general thing of Community Capital than get into the specifics of how my random hobby functions.
I found this particular obfuscation distracting, because I imagine hot air ballooning to be a much more expensive activity than this. And I think an important part of your claim was that was that you can do this weekend activity cheaper than one might expect, because of Community Capital. But I couldn’t suspend my disbelief that you could do a weekend of hot air ballooning for $35 per person.
If it’s helpful, in my head I was thinking like “blowing up (regular) balloons” and then making balloon art or something. I could change it, but I don’t know if that would be the most useful now, since a lot of the comments mention it.

I’d actually be very interested in hearing what specific community this is, as a case study in How To Do This Right.
