Worthington Family Festival Balloon Tag
Basic details
Background
Children sent hundreds of balloons carrying this tag aloft above Worthington during the Worthington Family Festival during Memorial Day weekend, 1983. The tag requests that the recipient send a reply describing their family, interests and community. Balloons are known to have traveled as far away as New Brunswick, Canada, a distance of 1,100 miles. A response was received from a kindergarten class at the Richmond Corner Kindergarten, near Woodstock, New Brunswick, describing their school activites and community.
