Hot Air Fest donation

Larry Wendel, executive secretary of The Van Wert County Foundation, presents Jerry Mazur, organizer of the Hot Air Festival, with a sponsorship donation for musical entertainment at this year’s Hot Air Festival.  The donation will provide a free musical concert by Todd Allen Herendeen, who will sing his hit song “My Name Is America”. The show starts at 7 p.m. this Friday at the Van Wert County Fairgrounds. Herendeen’s intermission will include a special Balloon Glow by several of the balloons taking part in the festival.
