We have recieved, letters, e-mail, and phone calls on where some of our balloons have

landed. Take a look!

Alberta Barnett's was found in Central New York(Movaua) They were so excited to find the balloon right in a tree on their drive way, that they are keeping the card that was attached as a memory.

Mary Schwertfeger's landed 2 miles south of Chicora, Pa.

Sandra Vanin's (Aging Commissioner) was found in Bavington, PA area.

Another one was found at the Butler County Airport in the grass. (sorry no name left).

Cleo Weekly's ended up 3 miles west of East Brady, Pa.

Mary Swiger's went to North Central Pa, this a a very small town(1 grocery store and no stop lights) approxmently 11/2 -2 miles from the New York Border and about 12 miles from Wellsville NY.

Mary Lou Ross- Claude Frantz of East Brady, Pa 60 miles North of Pittsburg. Mr Frantz found the balloon in the woods behind his house.

Clarence Anderson Found a balloon 40 miles from the New York state line.

This one traveled far too! On the shore of Keuka Lake,New York state. Keuka is one of the Finger Lakes. they found it about 9 miles south of Penn Yan NY, along the eastern shore of East Branch of the Lakes. ( which is shaped like a Y) Due to the rain or the lake water the name was unreadble.So let's all believe, that it was our balloon!

Lucy Donahue's balloon was found by Mark In Wexford Pa. It was found in a field while he was deer hunting.

Marie Lewis's was found in Mars PA. north of Pittsburg.

Our Director, Joy Crawford's balloon was found by Charlie and Sherri Dechant. They found hers in a small community called Reidsburg, Pa about 3 miles south of Clarion Pa.They also took the time to lookup our website and got to view our pictures of our  picnic and seen that we all had a great day. Thank you Charlie and Sherri for talking the time to view our web site.  

Another one found it's way to a farm in Butler County Pa. They did not give a name for this one.

                                         

We had a good southerly wind, that day. The sun was shinning, we could not have asked for a better day. What great day for a picnic!

 

Thank you all, for talking the time to let us know that you found our balloons. It means alot to us. Again, Thank you so very much.
