Up in the air

Heads up -- literally. The Chester County Balloon Festival will be held Friday, June 14, and Saturday, June 15, at Plantation Field on Route 82 west of Green Valley Road.
Gates open at 5 p.m. Friday and 3 p.m. Saturday. Admission is $10 a car, but those of us who live nearby will probably be able to see some of the hot-air balloons for free as they drift over in the evening (horse owners, take note).
The full schedule of events is on the festival's website, ccballoonfest.com.
In preparation for the event, on May 12 Po-Mar-Lin Fire Co. in Unionville hosted a class on hot-air balloon emergencies. Attending in addition to Station 36 volunteers were firefighters from Modena, Kennett, Avondale, and West Grove Fire Companies.
