Many of you have looked at the Balloon Dude video posted at The Press Online. Of course, the Balloon Dude is Jerry McDonald and his wife, Angel, is a preschool teacher at Crittenden County Elementary. Last week, the preschool students brought their dads and grandfathers to class for a special day. As part of the event, the group released dozens of balloons -- courtesy of the Balloon Dude.Each of the helium-filled balloons had a return postcard attached to it. Ms. Angel tells me that so far, three cards have been returned. One was from from Herndon, Ky., one from near Clarksville, Tenn., and one from Nashvhille, Tenn.
The students are really excited to find out where their next balloon will have taken them !
The inset photo is from the release last week.
