DANVILLE — When it came time for this year’s Balloons Over Vermilion student ambassadors to design their own hot-air balloons to be used on posters for the event as part of their duties, their creativity really shined.
The 28 third-, fourth- and fifth-graders at First Baptist Christian School in Danville used their school colors and Knight mascot, their love of their pets and animals such as pigs, cows and wolves, and a variety of colors to make their hot-air balloon creations stand out.
As junior balloon pilots, they asked lots of questions of pilots Dean Carlton and Larry Owen and learned a lot about hot-air ballooning.
