Balloons Over Vermilion is back ! The popular event returns Saturday, after an absence, to light the sky over the Vermilion Airport.

Hot air balloons helped highlight the Danville Dans Baseball game last Saturday night. Ronald McDonald threw out the first pitch. And Thursday, the Danville Boat Club will bring back the ‘Splash and Dash’ involving hot air balloons that will fly over Lake Vermilion.

A Balloon School is featured Saturday (July 16) at the Vermilion Regional Airport. Balloon pilots volunteer to educate visitors about topics like the fabric that makes up balloons, making balloon baskets, what actually makes them fly, and weather conditions.

Balloons Over Vermilion will feature thirty-three hot air balloons. Flights, of course, depend on weather conditions.
