- (1888PressRelease) February 24, 2012 - On October 6 and 7, 2012, the Jefferson County Balloon Festival will once again entertain the crowd with various aerial exhibits from the sky and on the ground. Held at the town's own Festus Memorial Airport, the event's itinerary include exciting skydiving exhibitions, various helicopter and airplane rides, a craft fair, and a model airplane show.
Food concessionaires will also be around to keep visitors happily full for the entire weekend. There would also be various rides to entertain the whole family and prizes will be given away throughout the event for those participating in any of the highly anticipated games of the festival.
Participants of all ages are guaranteed to have fun in the festival, which also provides wheelchair access for handicapped members. Visitors are also more than welcome to bring their pets with them as long as they are kept on a leash.
