The 2016 Balloon Festival Queen Candace Cormack takes off in a hot air balloon during the festival. Cormack was announced queen of the festival on Thursday night. For more information on the queen contest, see page 17.

COSHOCTON – The Touchstone Energy Balloon drew a long line of people on June 9, opening day of the Coshocton Hot Air Balloon Festival. “We are thrilled to have Petrehn the balloon here and be able to let people experience what it’s like to be in one,” said Kelly Kendall, manager of administration and office services at The Frontier Power Company, the major sponsor for the festival. “It’s an awesome thing to experience.” People were able to take tethered rides in the Touchstone Energy Balloon for $20, which went to the Frontier Power Community Connections Fund. “It all goes back to the community and for good causes,” Kendall said. Local organizations can apply for a donation from the Frontier Power Community Connections Fund and Kendall said the board at Frontier Power meets and decides whether or not to contribute money out of the fund.
