balloon fest photoThis year marks the 8th Annual Hot Air Balloon Festival at the Warren County Farmer's Fair. The Fair is proud to be celebrating their 71st year of delivering affordable family fun!

If you have never experienced the thrill of watching a bevy of colorful hot air balloons majestically rise from green pasture to blue sky, you can't imagine what you're missing. And if you're inclined to adventure, you can buy a ticket, hop on board and join the fun close-up. Not quite so sure you want to fully commit to that blue sky to green pasture? Take a tethered balloon ride for $10 (Monday and Tuesday evenings - weather permitting). Enjoy a short trip to tree-top level – the best view of the fair is in the air! Visit the website www.warrencountyfarmersfair.org for a complete overview of the Fair.
