This year’s Balloons Over Vermilion is being called a big success by many…despite Saturday’s thunderstorms which cancelled the evening flight and balloon glow. Thousands of people packed the Vermilion Regional Airport grounds Friday, and a lot of people were on hand for Saturday night’s laser show – even though the balloons did not inflate.
Jeanie Cooke, Executive Director of the Danville Area Convention and Visitors Bureau, says Balloons Over Vermilion has some nice benefits…
Cooke adds the support Balloons Over Vermilion receives from many people in our area is crucial to keeping the balloons flying…
A committee meets several times during the year planning for the event…and will meet soon to begin discussions for next year’s Balloons Over Vermilion.
