Balloons over Harrison

Balloons over Harrison happened this weekend. It’s happened here in the River Valley before and we enjoyed sitting out by the Meadow and watching them pass over. Ada lives on a hill overlooking south Harrison where they lifted off. She was amazed at the sight of them.

At school on the 11th, they spoke of the tragedy. This was Ada’s first time to hear of the events that day. She said—it breaks my heart. 

The Arkansas State Hot Air Balloon Festival will host 31 hot air balloon pilots the weekend of Sept. 13-14. A detailed schedule of events is posted on Facebook at Explore Harrison. Admission to the festival activities is free. Harrison has hosted this event for 30 years, and organizers are excited about the positive response and having a waiting list of pilots.
