Birthday balloons make long, 18 hour flight from Columbia, KY At first look, the flight didn't look promising, but 18 hours later, the phone rang with news every bit as astounding, in the world of Adair County, KY, birthday balloon flight, as the touchdown of Curiosity Click on headline for story with photo(s) By David Grigsby Yesterday was my granddaughters birthdays. Lillie turned 3 and Avy turned 5. After the party there were several balloons left over so on a whim I tied a few of them together and attached a note with my first name and phone number and asked the finder to call in hopes I might see where the winds carried the balloons. When I let the balloons go they seemed to rise very slowly. I mentioned to my son that I had high hopes for them until I saw their ascent, and then I decided they would barely make Russell Springs. Little did I know. Barely 18 hours later I got a phone call. Mr. Leonard Crider of Criders, Virginia, near the West Virginia border was on the phone. He said his granddaughter Shanna had noticed something bouncing along a tree branch and retrieved them. He promised to have her contact me, which she did by phone a few moments ago. She sent over a photo of herself, standing with the balloons beside the branch where the balloons came to rest. Shanna is 12 years old and tells me she is very happy to have found the balloons. - David Grigsby This story was posted on 2012-08-13 17:35:49
