All events are weather permitting. If there is no wind, several balloons will tether in Town Park for tethered rides for all in attendance.
A local youth group will be selling coffee, hot chocolate, and baked goods as a fundraiser. All are asked to support these kids’ efforts.
Anyone wishing to “get a ride on a balloon” should see Marilyn (in fuschia jacket at the basketball court) and volunteer as local crew…this is the only way you might get a ride. Please note that sponsors of balloons have first opportunity to ride.
Posters will be available for sale….at the balloon field in Town Park on Saturday and Sunday morning.
