Hot Air Fest coming soon

The 2012 Hot Air Festival being held September 7-9 at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds in Van Wert is counting down. Plans to create a memorable weekend with awesome memories for all ages are in full swing. Shown is Post’s Cereal’s Sugar Bear, which is making his way to the Van Wert Hot Air Festival to join in on the fun.  Sugar Bear will join 19 other balloons going aloft to explore the skies and get a bird’s eye view of the 150 wind turbines recently constructed in the area. Visit the event website at www.vanwerthotairfestival.com for information on the countless activities people won’t want to miss. (photo submitted)
